Darrell Gray is one of the few poets of his era, whose work has stood up to the test of time. If he isn't mentioned as often as some others, it's only because poets writing now are trying to hide how many lines they've stolen from him. A must read along with SCATTERED BRAINS for anyone who wants to see for themselves how excellence separates itself from mediocrity.

This book shows some of the thought behind the Actualist movement in poetry. Gray's prose is more challenging reading than his poetry, but well worth the effort. Read SOMETHING SWIMS OUT or SCATTERED BRAINS to see this thought in action.
