Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. Todd Baron's poems in OUTSIDE have a clarity that is not being either speech or thought while seeming the reverberation of 'the public' from inside 'someone, ' 'not lines or rhythms or even / anything from the outside but on paper from the voice above the water-level / shouting something beneath.' The sense of the poems' shape crosses a spatial line or level they make that is public / interior--Leslie Scalapino
