The Crowd of Time - Tapa blanda

Poetry. This collection, the author's first, was written largely from Austria, the author's country of adoption, towards America, the land of his birth. So the language is at once private (not the language of his neighbors) and public (the language of business and politics). The work is concise but not lyrical, opening in the direction of journalism. "These poems are deceptively simple and subtle in their tasks; the occasional religious image when paired with the stark humanity of earth lend to the feel that a gap has been filled in with this collection. The voice is honest, images fresh and concrete - a fine collection"-New Issues Press
