Gasoline Djinny & Other Poems

Taus, Roger

Poetry. " At Corinth, two temples stood next to one another: one to violence and one to necessity. Perchik's poems attend both temples, and are often terrifying compressions of the violence in simple daily acts. He makes dense and sometimes brutal poems with all the implicit tenderness of a full man" -Paul Blackburn.
