Poetry. "Eric Gudas is an astonishingly flexible poet, alternately formal and demotic, a sort of dark Whitman chronicling a world of objects made to be thrown away. When he turns to the waste of human energies in our late capitalist economy, he writes a kind of political poetry absolutely unlike anyone else's: utterly inventive and utterly without self-righteousness"--Alan Williamson.
