October

This is the second in the series of poetry collections that began with ­September. Once again adapting the Japanese tanka form Quentin S. Crisp presents a poetic and aphoristic journal of season mood observation and introspection. Both a scrapbook of a writers working process and a marshalling of new combinations of subject matter through an update of old forms October is a further attempt by the author to close the gap between the time-taking record-keeping distance of the written word and the immediacy of the living moment.
