Books of Poetry (chronological — more recent first)




New poems (49 pages, 5 sections each with a single long poem) as well as selected poems from:

The best of the poems is the 10-page "String Diamond". In this and the other new poem, he amps up his the jumps and juxtapositions of intense phrases in a style reminiscent of a one-man renga.


The best of the poems is the 1-page "Slanting Light", which has Sze's signature leaps and collages but ends up particularly well integrated. This with others from this collection is reprinted in The Redshifting Web: Poems, 1970-1998 (1998).
