"Algebra of
night! I just love this book. It is a
dazzling cross section of his passionate
wisdom and wit. With Borgesian scope and
cunning, in free verse or invisible
sonnets, Barnstone floats us to resonant
surprise. Out of an extraordinary life
and richness of many languages,
literatures and travels ranging over the
world, this gorgeous energy of a poet of
genius. I don't believe he sleeps!"
