The blog Snowflakes in a Blizzard recently ran a promotional post for my re-released book, Phobophobia (CyberWit).
One of the sections asks “Why would someone want to read it?” My answer follows:
The collection is apparently (dare I say?) as wild and exciting to read as it was to write. I chose to list blurbs in appreciation of Phobophobia on the back of my following book in 1994, A Man in Pieces (how could I have imagined that three of the five authors of the blurbs would subsequently become Pulitzer Prize recipients?):
A truly remarkable collection full of strong altogether original pieces. –Lucien Stryk
I am greatly enjoying Phobophobia. What a good idea. What good poems. –Mark Strand
Very original! Crazy and wonderful. –Charles Simic
. . . A brilliant idea well and faithfully pursued. –William Matthews
