A brilliant poet that uses language and sound the most intrigal parts of his repertoire.
"glottal stop" was a wonderful translation. Popov and McHugh should be commended for their work.

Little pieces I enjojoyed:

White, white, white
like paint on pickets
the laws line up
and march
right in


 a source of light you
drowsily swallow
passes through the hungry
host-tissue

There are just to many to mention. Very sad the way the early trauma in his life  
eventually caused his suicide.
