THREE POEMS includes a reminiscence and imagining of my mother's life when she was young, and later ("Modor: An Elegy"); the poem "Mother Tongue" is a romp-satirizing with energetic language the purveyors and accomplices of lies, rage, aggression, sedition, uprisings, illegality, fanaticism, and toadyism; "Elegy" is an interweaving of the story of a friend of my youth who died too young-a narrative in fragments that are interleaved with short passages from Ezra Pound's Cantos, a book that my friend and I found dazzling, strange, daring, inventive, unpleasant, very wrongheaded, and (poetically/artistically) unprecedented.
