Description: "The title poem in William Fuller's Daybreak begins with something abstract. 'At daybreak one saw receptacles from the day before and in those receptacles lay strings of associations.' From such associations 'eyes emanating soft red light' emerge. Practical considerations follow--including the tax consequences of such associations--without weighing down the free flight of metaphor as a vehicle for 'transparent uninterrupted thought.' Definite pronouns without antecedents take on a physical presence too, as real as the history of ideas. Each poem in this collection builds a memory palace for how to forget."--Publisher's website.
