Bøger af Jack Collom

"Jack was always the mover behind these poems and a poetic mentor to me all my adult life." - Reed Bye A month before Jack Collom died in the summer of 2017, he and Reed Bye read through the poems they'd written together across more than forty years and made a selection they felt represented the best of their work together. "Addled Smoke Material" is an exquisite and rollicking inspiration, celebrating a long friendship and serving as a shining example of Collom's creative spirit of play and collaboration. The poems in this volume summon up qualities and inclinations unique to the present minds and moods of their producers, as well as to the "third mind" of the poem itself.
