these are separate poems but also all really one poem a single breath no periods barely any punctuation at all yet it has a rhythm of breathing, has an andante meditative and celebratory movement, a “finally knowing what is there…everywhere all at once” truly an illumination, a clarity in this work written on the edge of life and fully living “the heart beats its sustaining winds” which like this long poem have no end nor a beginning, this is Tom’s life in these pages and it’s one of the best lives he’s written, which is saying very much indeed that this is a very great work John M.

The kimono material in this book originates from other artists and writers - with their permission - with due credit made on each image. Often I've given website links in my comments not only so that the original image(s) contributed by my collaborator can be viewed, but also to allow the reader to do research to learn more about these incredibly creative people and to view their art, visual poetry, poetry, photography, etc. I've taken liberties to collage and embroider with Photoshop Elements 4.0 so as to fuse multiple images by one person or to elaborate on a composition or theme that develops as I work to 'fit' the kimono to that persona. It is a joy to work with material from creative people whose art and poetry I so much admire, and I feel like a 'curator' of sorts as I build my kimono collection. As when a poet constricts his/her self to the rules of a haiku, and thus discovers new surprising twists of life in language, so do I surprise myself again and again within the shape of the kimono. -CMB

Color, vivid and subtle, is a major protagonist in this amazing dialogue of text, text fragments, line, and image; a dialogue not so much between the 2 collaborators (the work is strikingly unified) as between the several modes of expression these pieces exhibit. Truly a unique and wonderful creation! Excerpts from introduction: "This book represents the first consolidated depiction of the Ernst-Murphy collaborative in extended form. Compiling the volume has facilitated the elucidating and sharing what the artists have opted to consider part of an emerging oeuvre." "Visio-textual art draws life from letters, syllables, and words, from line, from curve, to shape, enacting a philosophical geometry in which concept and physical reality are conjoined." "Collaboration is about discovery and surprise. In the experience of working together, the process-based discoveries in visio-textual art are amplified by virtue of the added thought power..."

(Full Color Cover designed by Tom Taylor) Paul T. Lambert, The King of Inismo in America? The Secret Flood in Temple 13? Is this His Charter? The New Constitution Laying Down the Form? His Autobiography? Yes it is yes it is yes it is yes it is. Distilled from esoteric links to All The Texts, this Tome surpasses them all; it is more intelligent, more illuminated, more cancerous, more fluvial, more shapely, more ineffable, more Smiling the Total Smile than whatever else you think you have “read”. Nothing will be the same, all praise to St. Lambert. Read every word here and then read them again. You are now “Elections officials in the wall… ,flot ,hat, heap ,hunt ,hack ,trump ,flist ,fan, fono ,flake Torture is…the drumbeat…obscenity charges…capitulated blood on the sand.” You will “buy some hangers”, “same closet gasping the”. Yes it is. Yes it is. Yes it is. Yes it is.
