Crunk. As James Dickey, distinguished poet and judge of the competition, says in the foreword, Here is that rare phenomenon, a writer of instinctive formal vision. His real reverence for the simple objects of the everyday world, their ability to present cup, tree, and hand both as they seem and as they are with a kind of mystical iconic starkness, is a quality uniquely Mr. Crunk's. That this starkness eventually begins to warp into the surreal and ultimately windows into the Luminous Beyond, is additional sanction for gratitude.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eReliquaria\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1. \u003ci\u003eFound Hand-Painted on a Tin Flue Cover\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRibbon of black crape\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edraped on a door knob\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elike broken strings\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehanging from a loom\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewith the words: \u003ci\u003eWeep not.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhat do I need of this world?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2. \u003ci\u003eS.
