The Fundaments

By Greg Purcell

Poetry. "In Greg Purcell's tour de force, THE FUNDAMENTS, a nameless, intrepid 'he' morphs into a panoply of curious personae becoming everything from a cowboy, a dilettante, Gilgamesh, Emily Dickinson, Imagism, a hand-bag, and more. His playful role-playing encompasses not only people, but also objects, movements, and ideas. It is a thoroughly post-Whitman song that questions, as much as it celebrates, the notion of self.
