Poetry. As lush as Rossetti, as energetic as O'Hara, as intense as Mayakofsky, Brandon Downing writes with masterful abandon. "The blood is my age / Met me afterwards / Illegal sound lines // Making it something / So many illegal / The corridor clones / You convex fences // Illegal and lights / Doing bravery lights / Windmills and me / Illegal heights" (from "Introduction V"). The poems in this collection have been widely published in such journals as LUNGFULL!, FENCE, THE GERM, CONDUIT, and NEW AMERICAN WRITING. Brandon Downing is the founding editor of the magazine 6,500, and his books include Lazio and Gog & Horsey Pictures.
