The Daily Glance
Steve Halle's cessation covers seemed related to music right from the beginning. Oddly, they made me remember being in a punk rock band trying to come up with lyrics as we played. Steve is, of course, a poet, not high school want-to-be star, and he tells us in an apology that these pieces are a response of sorts to the lyrics of Kurt Cobain. Steve's pieces are short eight line lyrics (except for the last one) with disrupted syntax, occasional rhymes, and references from Bogart to Oedipus to NyQuil. They are best read as a series instead of as individual poems, though some of them stand quite well on their own.

novelties, how about now?
