Trilogy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781969900099)

Ted Pearson's work is the poetry of ideas, playing out like music, with syntax as temperament, aphorism as motif, meaning as melody. Not surprisingly, it synthesizes endorphins: "...to read a poem / is to hear with eyes." Composed in a contrapuntal variety of forms, his Trilogy of trilogies never loses consciousness of the singer in the song, nor the heart in the mouth: "The very stuff of your desire is shaped by the words you sing." The pleasure is all ours.
