Tomorrow Won't Bring The Rain (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798639051586)

TOMORROW WON'T BRING THE RAIN is a forty-five page open-field poem, in three sections, by San Antonio poet BILL SHUTE, composed in Bexar County, Texas in 2019-2020--a mirror, now broken, held up to today, under lockdown from COVID-19. Shute's work is rooted in the post-Projective Verse poetics of Blackburn, Berrigan, and Eigner, but completely his own. The title of one of his spoken-word poetry albums sums up his approach: Junk Sculpture From The New Gilded Age. The poetry echoes his work with such avant-garde musician-composers as Derek Rogers, Mari Rubio (aka More Eaze) and Alfred 23 Harth, while being steeped in the culture and particulars of the present-day Gulf Coast and South-Central Texas. The book's epigraph comes from composer Morton Feldman, "silence is my substitute for counterpoint." A career-spanning Selected Poems will be published by Moloko Print in Germany in 2021.
