Elegy on Toy Piano

I just finished reading this fabulous fabulous book of poems by a fabulous fabulous writer. The poems are so cool -- they incorporate technical scientific language and imagery with lyricism and humour into these strange and distinctive poems. Funny harsh poems questioning existence and nothingness. Poems which can be read too fast and must be read again. A book of poems in which I like everyone so much I can't choose a favorite. Poems packed with great, swiftly moving lines so that it becomes impossible to isolate the perfect phrase, because each is seamlessly woven into the whole. I love Dean Young.
