Poetry. THREE MOUTHS comprises the sequences "Wave-Run," "Sonic Model," and "Between." "Tod Thilleman began to attract attention with his sequence collection 'Wave-Run' and has continued to mine secrets and depths inherent in language, but often ignored. The magic of words--that they have lives of their own beyond their obvious power to communicate information.... 'Between' continues that process, informed by his conductus, the Daemon. It is a great privilege to have been allowed to follow the quest"--Theodore Enslin.
