Every Day but Tuesday [Paperback]

Every Day But Tuesday is a book of lyric experiments amassed from a space beyond ordinary time, where this is tomorrow and the sun stands, reverberating both as precursor and postscript to the apocalypse. The extraordinary world of these poems, coming from the sea, forests, islands, mountains, and rivers, form an utterly new logic of sound patterning and metric sense-making, colliding a series of gorgeous associations with a suite of prepositions forever reconfiguring.
