back music
vapor trail
frozen auto
Description: Six word poems and/or koans presented in series—
what Big Cup saw and how he saw it when he experienced
the words as images masking things, things masking no thing—
reality a slippery fish, the prosody of that.
Doom and sense of fun—just so.
Trusting Oblivion
Description: Michael Hannon's work has been widely published in journals and anthologies.
He is the author of three full-length collections: Poems & Days (1985), Ordinary Messengers (1991), and Trusting Oblivion (2002).
"A very good poet indeed, and certainly one of the few Tantric writers in any language who is both profound and witty."
