Poetry. "Poetry is my beat, and I pound it like an Irish cop in some old movie. The characters you will encounter in these pages--carnal wraiths, Elysian Fielders, end rhyme addicts, and worse--populate the mean streets of that circumscribed world without end." So says klipschutz about PREMEDITATIONS, a thematic collection as singular as its title, the harvest of half a lifetime's deep, idiosyncratic, and irreverent engagement with an embattled art form, and with individual poems and poets themselves. A San Franciscan, klipschutz starts with his early heroes, the Beats and the New York School, and from there ranges widely, to the American Modernists, the Greeks and Romans, and all manner of times and places in between.
