Bern Porter. If you're lookin' for iambic pentameter and an A/B/A/B rhyme scheme, this book ain't for you. Porter twists and stretches poetic style, while still maintaining an alignment with form. He integrates lists, numbers, symbols and the whole kitchen sink into his works – as much visual art as poetry. Very fun stuff – and what other book can boast a Forward by David Byrne and an Introduction by former Poet Laureate of Toledo, Joel Lipman?
