Important poems by the late New York poet published in The New American Poetry,
Evergreen Review, Floating Bear and stranger places. Often this poet, strolling
through the noisy splintered glare of a Manhattan noon, has paused at a sample O
livetti to type up thirty or forty lines of ruminations, or pondering more deepl
y has withdrawn to a darkened ware- or firehouse to limn his computed misunderst
andings of the eternal questions of life, coexistence, and depth, while never fo
rgetting to eat lunch, his favorite meal.
