Description: "These new and selected poems gather together an often comedic cornucopia of Elmslie's work: autobiography, visually-shaped performance pieces, and confessional love poetry. Routine Disruptions includes lyrics from Elmslie's musical plays and opera librettos, along with his innovative poem songs. Elmslie offers his readers multi-voiced reportage of outer actualities, constantly challenged by the singularity of his poet's mind's eye."--BOOK JACKET.
