The Slant Hug ’o Time is my nearly-finished novel that has been through a number of reincarnations. It is only in the past few years that I have “found my voice,” and it is that voice that you hear in these pages. It may come across to you as a very cracked voice indeed from an old crackpot, but this is it. In a way, it’s one answer to that oft-asked question, “What is beyond baroque?”

I push the limits of rhyme to bind the lines, measure the passing of time, and synthesize past and present and the diachronic and the synchronic into a surreal design. I try to explore and expand with absurd and imperfect anagrams the surface and sense of the Word.
