Despite their resistance to paraphrase, the poems of Dear Wild Abandon, possess the peculiar power of bringing us closer to the generative impulse behind all poetry.
—Mark Strand
Across the desert we kissed
and dreamt one-legged of islands.
We were not yet home,
a sea of buffaloes
carried us on its back.
