| Synopsis: |
"For James Richardson, poetry is serious and speculative play for both intellect and imagination...

His breathtaking skill with aphorisms open portals of new perspective to refresh us with their humor and make the familiar reinvigorated with the blessedly strange.From "Big Scenes":And what was King Kong ever going to dowith Fay Wray, or Jessica Lange,but climb, climb, climb and get shot down?No wonder Gulliver's amiably chattingwith that six-inch woman in his palm.Desire's huge, there's really nowhere to put itin this small world that it will stay put:might as well just talk...James Richardson is the author of six books of poetry, including By the Numbers, which was a National Book Award finalist, and his poems appear regularly in The New Yorker.
