The Promises of GlassPaperback, 17 May 2001

The Promises of Glass, Michael Palmer's first new collection since At Passages (1995), is now available as a paperback. In seven sections this gorgeous book explores language and the salt sea of autobiographies. His work also examines what Marjorie Perloff has described as the absurdist 'displacement by degrees' one experiences in the post-urban wold of late twentieth-century America.
