American Supper: collected works

By D R Baker

Spanning nearly two decades, this book is a collection of the best of the poetry and short fiction of D.R. Baker. From dark, visionary meanderings through the netherworld to everyday musings, Baker paints works that are at once inspiring, brutish, sparse, and lush. Baker's voice is a clarion call with an electric chofar or a medieval yelp from an abstracted hell. He lets his reader fill in the blanks. Either way, no one can possibly leave the pages of this incendiary book without being transformed in some way.TwoWhen infinity breaks into two, I hear the black Octave & theDisembodied whisper.Time is a strangeCustom.The dead float on rings of smoke.Green calendars fall Around forgotten meals.There is no one there toLove you when you fall.Nonchalant mirrorsreflect hillside murmurs.The daffodil, Like the waterfall, is sudden.
