Notes Toward an Apocryphal Text: [Poems by Alan May, Images by Tom Wegrzynowski]

by Alan May

"[This book] presents a new poet whose vivid imagination expresses itself in brilliant juxtapositions of imagery and language. His work has an immediate power and, beneath its often-absurdiste surface, is rich and haunting." -Bill Knott- "Alan May's poems are taut, intense, weird, and occasionally perverse. They are also unbearably kind, consistently funny... This is a poet with an uncompromising individuality." -Inman Majors- "...Carefully measured, stark and moving... A strong and original poetry." -Simon Perchik- "Wegrzynowski's world creates a fascinating space for theoretical and artistic considerations." -Brett Levine, Director of the University of Alabama at Birmingham Visual Arts Gallery- "Tom Wegrzynowski creates his own ironic mythos... What are pyramids doing in No Man's Land? Only Wegrzynowski's symbology can explain, and the explanations may still not satisfy a literalist intellect." -Jerry Cullum, Senior Editor of Art Papers Magazine
