Notes Toward an Apocryphal Text: [poems by Alan May, Images by Tom Wegrzynowski]
Description:... [This book] presents a new poet whose vivid imagination expresses itself in brilliant juxtapositions of imagery and language. His work has an immediate power and, beneath its often-absurdiste surface, is rich and haunting. --Bill Knott-- Alan May's poems are taut, intense, weird, and occasionally perverse. They are also unbearably kind, consistently funny...This is a poet with an uncompromising individuality. --Inman Majors-- ...Carefully measured, stark and moving...A strong and original poetry. --Simon Perchik-- Wegrzynowski's world creates a fascinating space for theoretical and artistic considerations. -Brett Levine, Director of the University of Alabama at Birmingham Visual Arts Gallery-- Tom Wegrzynowski creates his own ironic mythos...What are pyramids doing in No Man's Land? Only Wegrzynowski's symbology can explain, and the explanations may still not satisfy a literalist intellect. -Jerry Cullum, Senior Editor of Art Papers Magazine
