"Aslant the sea he converts a survival manual, a coolness
of mind barely suggesting his life's ardent muteness."

Jerry Estrin, from "Frank O'Hara," A Book of Gestures, Sombre Reptiles, 1980


























"called Poem of the End

four evenings in a row
now with a bridge in the distance

I came upon by chance

called Poem of the End

blue seven like this
hazed: nothing but the printed lines"

Michael Palmer, "from C", Acts 5, 1986
