Poetry. SURFACES is John Tipton's first full-length collection of poems. Here is a world of Cartesian precision, where matrices and Markov chains are revealed by the lattice of snowfall and the improbable order of ants. Yet the irrational and the absurd are not exiled from these poems, warping and defining their contours instead: "here the geography is the horizon here / Oklahoma moves him in ways he regrets . . ."

<p>Poetry. In PARAMNESIA, John Tipton's gnomic phrases and stringent imagery sound the mysteries of syntax to uncover traces of what's been lost. Here the saturated myths of the ancient world traffic in the banality and derangement of international travel. This is a poetry of centaurs and blast furnaces, glossolalia and linguistics, rich with pattern and forms of its own making: "sound of the filtered song / teased notes that wind out wordless threads / lost even as we listen."</p>
