Poetry. Incretion is the process by which a substance is secreted internally and, in turn,comes to control organic processes elsewhere within its own system. Thus dothe poems of this collection function, creating landscape within anatomy andvice versa until a world emerges on the body's page and confronts the reader. "Brian Strang's INCRETION is a probe into the genuine state of things, seeking definitionand measure amidst the blood-and-circus reversals of regime, market, vestigial culture.Where the first world hits the last wish--this is the challenged territory he would haveus know, and face"--George Albon.
