| Geoffrey Young To Micah Ballard in San Francisco August/September 2003 I give away all that I am frame moments that remain rolled straight from brown eyes I know charms turn the crowd to action another silent chill says alone is a way-station to form how underrated we are as a skull makes the oasis of a smile cry out obsessive familiars true love formulates hours of light behold a blank regality watching the day unfold I am more myself today when the body falls away we are eaten by the fugue state anything goes by saying yes chronic dreams revisit the past proper pleasures seed the head if your love be not free the depths look like shallows there's a demand for the genius of broken overtones we must march to the beat the one about self-exception our ferocious dissidence and blazing topicality, spectral cathedrals using us for incense Geoffrey Young’s most recent book of poetry is Lights Out (with drawings by James Siena.) Other recent books include Admiral Fever (with drawings by Philip Knoll), Pockets of Wheat (drawings by James Siena), and Cerulean Embankments (drawings by Carroll Dunham.) His small press, The Figures (since 1975), has published more than 120 books of poetry, fiction and art writing. |
