Author Description

SPECIAL EDITION: What is a deformed sonnet? A wound that has scabbed over. JAY JEFF JONES: "It's poetry that gives up its inner charms like a true strip artiste and offers treats so we know where it came from and where it's going." WILLIAM OSBORNE: "These poems are profound, honest, and beautiful. Future scholars will have fun deciphering the "debts" you mention, for which the borrower is owed nothing but thanks." CHARLES PLYMELL: "Jan, I read the whole book last night in bed. ... I am more or less past all aesthetics & literature. ... But this book is way ahead of it all. ... It defeats art & aesthetics. It's something one would touch with a stick & turn it over to see if it's alive. It is... if life is out there. ... I'll send it for you to inscribe."
