Night Palaces: Poems by Rollie Erickson - Rollie Erickson - Bog

Night Palaces is a collection of mostly surrealist-inspired poems culled from a lifetime of writing poetry by an American abstract painter. The book is divided into sections that suggest the passages of both a day and a life. The final section of the book consists of two essays: one offers a surrealist narrative of the American landscape, and the other briefly critiques Rahsaan Roland Kirk's song The Inflated Tear. The author's paintings illustrate the book.
