Publisher Description: This book is a collection of poems and excerpts from letters sent to the publisher by the author over a period of some fifteen years or so. The author, Russell Lichter, is an unknown poet who has never sought any publicity; and, in fact, the publisher, who was coincidentally a good friend and a former co-worker of the author, was the one who conceived of producing this project. The first section consists of consciously-composed poems by Russell Lichter. The second section is a composition of found poetry produced by the publisher by excerpting "great poems hidden within Lichter's letters." These two sections combined produce a great sense of the wit, wisdom, compassion and spiritual insight of this unusual hermit-like soul living in a remote part of Marin. |
