Description:

“[This book] presents a new poet whose vivid imagination expresses itself in brilliant juxtapositions of imagery and language. His work has an immediate power and, beneath its often-absurdiste surface, is rich and haunting.” —Bill Knott— “Alan May’s poems are taut, intense, weird, and occasionally perverse. They are also unbearably kind, consistently funny... This is a poet with an uncompromising individuality.” —Inman Majors— "...Carefully measured, stark and moving... A strong and original poetry.” —Simon Perchik— “Wegrzynowski’s world creates a fascinating space for theoretical and artistic considerations.” -Brett Levine, Director of the University of Alabama at Birmingham Visual Arts Gallery— “Tom Wegrzynowski creates his own ironic mythos... What are pyramids doing in No Man’s Land? Only Wegrzynowski’s symbology can explain, and the explanations may still not satisfy a literalist intellect.” -Jerry Cullum, Senior Editor of Art Papers Magazine

Fabulous [ No Rating ] 25 Oct 2006
This book is wonderful. Alan May's poems vary in style, but the book is moving and intense throughout. Notes toward an Apocryphal Text includes speakers that are love-lorn, suicidal, and, at times, insane. The poems are lean and will often carry a kick. The images by Tom Wegrzynowski, though not closely related to the poems (the images and poems cohere, though), are truly awesome. I look forward to May's next book, and I will definitely continue to look for Wegrzynowski's new work.
