Poetry. A series of poems in and of layers, FOURTEEN KNOTS is printed on onionskin paper and presented in an airmail envelope. "This muck/ is so// impregnated with rain/ and seaweed// it becomes/ a kind of common green// outer body/ inside of which// the individual/ ones seem denied// but aren't/ are only hidden// and wet." The ephemeral has never been so elegant. Saddlestaped chapbook.
