    About this ebook

    Poetry. "Inman reaquaints us with a full blown sensual apprehension of language—a luxury we can't or don't permit ourselves when semantics predominates.... It is Inman's pleasure to explore the warp and woof of the fabric of our linguistic intentions with all the meticulous humor words such as warp and woof evoke. Here the substantiating quality of the talisman, if nothing else, tranforms our perceptions."—Joan Retallack. Peter Inman was born in 1947 and raised on Long Island. From 1980 to 2005, he worked at the Library of Congress, and since 2005 as labor rep and consultant. His books have included: Ocker(Tuumba Press, 1982), RED SHIFT and CRISS CROSS (Roof Books, 1988 & 1994), VEL (O Books, 1995), ad finitum (if p then q, 2008), AT. LEAST. (Krupskaya, 2009), and PER SE (Burning Deck, 2012). He resides in Maryland with the poet Tina Darragh.

      The dry, black branches of winter seen in flight run singing. Come here to drink translucent drops on fresh leaves. Come over here, and try to light that wick. If you descend from the summit, humming, perhaps I can see you, perhaps at the river’s cur
