Book Description: Ten Poems about East Asia and Kitsch Nebula Ampersands And by Ralph-Michael Chiaia is a book of experimental poems, some of which were published online and many of which appear for the first time in these pages. This book has the simple charm of a haiku mixed with the rant of a Ginsberg poem. Those familiar with Chiaia's work know that his minimal approach speaks in loud primal bass notes. In his first collection of poetry he has sat in with a string quartet and rocked it through stacked Bose speakers.
Book excerpt:
from Terenganu
A gecko scares the hell out of her/I bolt into the bathroom to kill it./It chews a cockroach./An old Malay: it’s monsoon season.
from Ode to the & sign
&&&/three men sitting drinking tea with both hands/perhaps they are under a tree on a hot August day/or in lines with feet shackled in a jail somewhere
