Poetry. "Grapes speaks for the extraordinary in the ordinary, for the life in old shoes, the overcoat you didn't hang up, for whatever life, humanity, possibility that can come from chaos.... In his work and in his presentation of himself, a surface geniality frequently masks something dark and bloody.... This flip-flop from genial buffoonery to commandant of the dark side seems paradigmatic of Grapes approach to poetry"--Nancy Shiffrin, Los Angeles Times.

Geography is the first of three sections of an extended poetic sequence. The haunting world of buried memory gives the poem epic dimension as the poet fuses cultural and historical forces with personal memory... Breaking Down... weaves a narrative form with the meditative lyric and the fragmented visions of the Surrealists.
