Notes Toward an Apocryphal Text : [poems by Alan May, Images by Tom Wegrzynowski]

"[This book] presents a new poet whose vivid imagination expresses itself in brilliant juxtapositions of imagery and language.

His work has an immediate power and, beneath its often-absurdiste surface, is rich and haunting." --Bill Knott-- "Alan May's poems are taut, intense, weird, and occasionally perverse.

They are also unbearably kind, consistently funny...This is a poet with an uncompromising individuality." --Inman Majors-- "...Carefully measured, stark and moving...A strong and original poetry." --Simon Perchik-- "Wegrzynowski's world creates a fascinating space for theoretical and artistic considerations." -Brett Levine, Director of the University of Alabama at Birmingham Visual Arts Gallery-- "Tom Wegrzynowski creates his own ironic mythos...What are pyramids doing in No Man's Land?

Only Wegrzynowski's symbology can explain, and the explanations may still not satisfy a literalist intellect." -Jerry Cullum, Senior Editor of Art Papers Magazine
