Baruch [David] Kirschenbaum
Slippage: BK Poems is a collection of fifty-one poems by BK (Baruch Kirschenbaum), all written since the turn of the twenty-first century, including reflections on nature, family, love, dreams, society, and mortality. As the author notes: 'I think about the poems I write as brief essays in poetic form on experiences and observations and, more abstractly, on the nature of things as I see them. In that sense, my poems are more thought poems than what are referred to as 'Language poems'—which is not to suggest that there is no thought in the latter, for clearly there is. I do, however, usually write without punctuation, perhaps to slow the uptake of meaning. More than that there is little to say, except that I hope you will find some virtue and pleasure in these meditations.'
