"Which parts/of you/are the permanent/mistakes" A question without a mark, words worth more than the photos they capture, a childhood lost to oblivion, only to be resurrected by the pen: Paul Koniecki's poems probe deep into the cosmic darkness of memory, prying at the edges of consciousness and meaning, only to dive back into the madcap dance of the minutiae of living. A snap shot of a lake--where ink and you end and begin; past sleep, where faces are lost in the haze of transrealistic dreams; beyond moderation and jam, into the circus and the rotted heart of Joseph Stalin--these poems command your attention, even as their subjects apologize that the asking was necessary. As Koniecki himself says, "this is all there is."Elly Finzer--author of upcoming KJ publication 'Says the Speck'
