Remember who you are now before you read this book. On the other side, you will be someone new. Someone aware of the shifting of tectonic plates. Yes, the newlyweds are slow dancing, a driver at the light’s still sitting there even though it turned green four seconds ago—but you will know how quickly it all really moves. Your mind will be awake to its own processes, and language will never again be anything less than a tornado at your heels. —Chris Prewitt, author of Paradise Hammer

a Masterpiece
“How far did you go in your sleep,” begins George Eklund’s Toward a Credo, “Gathering the elements of being / From blue flowers / Above the imagined sea.” What you hold in your hands is an assemblage of those elements of being, of magnetic tears and ashes in boxes, of green rain and dreaming acrobats, of church organs and the sounds of brass. The elements of being are small moments, unexpected mysteries, utter heartbreaks in gentle winds, and Eklund uses these to uncover worlds of wonder, where the mind is startled into creating new proteins and songs are sung by a voice wholly unique and instantly universal. This is the poetry that you feed to “the deity within.” This is the poetry that reverberates across the stars. This is the poetry of pure-grain possibility. —Sean L Corbin, author of The Leper Dreams of Snow
