Ruggles, Eugene

<p>harvey ellis has spent a lifetime perfecting the techniques he now uses to pathway into the interior consciousness and allow it full access to his poems. As a result he produces a series of mysteriously interconnected images, which have the feel of arriving as if from no single source. His poems have appeared in Cider Press Review, Tundra, The Bitter Oleander, VOLT, American Writing, among others. He was a finalist for the Francis Locke Memorial Poetry Award for the most imaginative poem of 1998.</p>
