Motion of the Cypher
Description
In Motion of the Cypher Ray DiPalma's glyphic, synaesthetic formulations transport us quickly to the nether regions of life and the poetic imagination where "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow / Still only brings us to Wednesday" and ".... vicious disclosures about criteria /... form an entire government out of amnesiacs." Sometimes angry, always truthful, these poems unite exquisite musicality with a philosophically incisive eye, a rare combination. -- Nick Piombino
