Some of Us and Most of You Are Dead
"Peter Norman's new poems combine formal sophistication with sublime imagery. In this, his fourth collection, Norman has mastered the poetic form known as the terminal, where a poem takes the last word of each line from the corresponding lines of another poem. These are poems with past lives animated by rhythm while haunted by memory poems that conjure moments of the supernatural while they wrestle with the boundary between our world and the half-remembered one lurking just beneath its surface."--.
