Błyski

A book of poetry and not-poetry. The pieces obey no stylistic rules: a sudden thought, a memory, someone else's words, a few rhythmic stanzas or two sentences glimpsed in a newspaper. Some are witty, like the slogan on a child's T-shirt, United Animals; others tender, like small children's shoes among daisies on a lawn. The poet saw them as an autonomous form, neither scraps nor drafts: each could have become a poem, and none is one.
