Nostrils of a Muscle Cloud: Collaborative Poems from 2013-2025

By John M Bennett and Stacey Allam

Jim Leftwich on the poem "Steering", from Allam & Bennett's Tongue Ticking, 2013: If we add them together - the two minds of the authors and the third mind created through their collaboration, plus the two minds as a reader (the first mind with its first thought, which Ginsberg and Trungpa have called the best thought, and the second mind, which Chester A. Burnett aka Howlin' Wolf has in his "Killing Floor" warned us not to ignore) - we have five minds to act as a kind of steering committee as we navigate this windstorm, maybe a couch, curtains flapping in the wind, down by the sea, dustpan in hand, prepared to do battle with the wiggling hanger... (Editor Note: This book is dedicated to Jim Leftwich in Memoriam, 1956-2025)
