The boundaries of time and form do not exist for Ivan Argüelles – they never have. While we’ve been occupied by the
singular idea, trapped in a moment,
Argüelles has refused to play by the rules or even accept the need for the game. His poetry exposes that idea as the provisional, phony construct that
it is. Where most find chaos he discovers and sings sublime music. Earthy, psychedelic, profane, divinatory and sacred, these Ulterior Vision(s) are another distinct verse in
a song that began nowhere and never ends. Through the day after day practice of such poetry this poet is
living his work, an other life, an ulterior existence “in the electric dazzling we are.” - Jake Berry
