Poetry. Winner of the 2004 Jack Spicer Award, Chuck Stebelton's CIRCULATION FLOWERS is a beautiful collection of lyric meditations that, appropriately enough, seem to channel Spicer's biting wit and pair it with Ceravolo's infinite miniature gestures, while maintaining a voice entirely their own. These poems believe in poetry, they tackle the everyday as if it were a monumental conundrum. Amidst his father's Corvair and horses, and after running down five songs in five minutes, Stebelton asserts, "I'm writing Americana in ink" and in fact, he is.
