Subject matters

About this book

"Subject Matters is a collection of prose poems that brings to mind the static magic of Robbe-Grillet's Snapshots or the haunting precision of Killarney Clary's Who Whispered Near Me. As the title implies, the subject does matter. Sanders allows his imagination to unleash itself in search of salvation much more than knowledge. If the reader feels on unsure footing in these mostly tri-partite pieces, it is because the author does too, with glee. No stone is left unturned as Sanders careens from poem to poem. The parade of images and pageant of emotion in the end is both delightful and disturbing. As the poet writes, "the empire of ego was spellbound." And remains so."--Back cover.
