This reads like a bible to me. I learn so much about poetry and writing poetry and reading poetry from Trilogy. It is edited, constructed, lucid and huge - intricate and sparse at the same time. The images and constructions - constructed and built of something physical, yet dreamlike, prophetic - are a whole world and I live inside every time I read it or even open a page and glance at a word in the middle of a line. Every word is its own world and sound, reading like prayer and reality that is suspended, rooted, hanging, and whole.

369699 Starting February next year, you'll need a converter box to read H.D. Or just cave in and get cable.
