The Essentials (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781957755731)

Drastic. Caustic. Ted Richer's radically ascetic style cuts to the heart of things: love, solitude, self-contradiction, extinction. It's a style composed as much of silence as of words. Calibrated silence; words dipped in acid. It's like learning to read all over again, learning to breathe.-Rosanna Warren, Author of So Forth(poems)and Max Jacob: A Life in Art in Letters (biography)
