Spectre

"Mark Lamoureux's disturbing and often distinctly American landscpes explore the interface between fantasy and fatalism, magic and machine. In the tradition of Duncan and Spicer, he is a metaphysical poet for our times, when even "the cheerleader's dreams are sinister" and "what was once all Wagner is now/ all Duran Duran." What a pleasure to sift through baroque layers of ornament and debris with a poet of such keen and precise intelligence---one who in dark times "carries a dark lamp."---Elaine Equi"--BOOK JACKET.
