WORLD WITHOUT SOUND (2006)





world without sound.


LEONARD CIRINO (1943 - 2012)



An excellent poet, author of many fine collections.  I own as many as I could get my hands on back in the day, and I recommend them all.   Also honored to have several hundred unpublished and privately published poems that he sent my way during our decade or so of correspondence.

HONORED TO HAVE 3 NEU PIECES AT JUXTAPROSE


Nice Krautrock reference there, right?

LATEST REJECTION

"These poems have convincing moments, but finally you shut the door on life. Philip Larkin may have done as much in "This Be the Verse," but there is not only much he admired--jazz, for one--but also, he had sympathy for those like himself who often felt nailed to the floor."


Nice to get something other than a form rejection letter.   Of course, I refute what he says at the end of the first sentence, but I guess I'd have to.  If I've ever read any Larkin, I don't recall it, so I guess that's my bad.  I lean more towards post-punk myself.
