Matrix Poetry

The poems in this book are a continuation of the author's exploration into the anatomy, humor, and orchestration of language. A primary type of poem, the lattice, places phrases in a matrix that illuminates the interplay of each word with all other words in the poem. In another type, a word or phrase is arranged in a continuum to show interactions between parts of words and to portray the inherent texture of the poem. Other types are symbolic lyrical poems.
