Ten Poems about East Asia & Kitsch Nebula Ampersands And

Genius Book. --Lo Galluccio, Writer

Ten Poems about East Asia and Kitsch Nebula Ampersands And by Ralph-Michael Chiaia has the simple charm of a haiku mixed with the rant of Ginsberg. In his first collection of poetry he has sat in with a string quartet and rocked it through stacked Bose speakers. This book is really two chapbooks combined into one. Part I is made of short haiku-like riffs about different cities in Southeast Asia. Part II is made of rants, mock plays, codes, and other experimental forms in Chiaia's contemporary poetic onslaught.
