Poetry. The prose poems in PLAYING WELL WITH OTHERS interact with the writing of philosophers and poets like Gilles Deleuze, Lewis Carroll, and Plato. As David Antin writes, "When poets walk in on philosophy they seem more unruly.It's a pleasure to find Paul Naylor pulling the rungs out of the ladders and the seats of the swings." Naylor's poems and essays have appeared in Boxkite, Chicago Review, Contemporary Literature, Cross-Cultural Poetics, Hambone, New American Writing, New Orleans Review, and Postmodern Culture.
