Poems and Prose Poems
by
Dudley Laufman
Dudley Laufman has his own way of making music with words and words into dance and song. For him it's always been one thing: the music, the movement, the poetry. Here we have poem and song lyric and story and myth. The words are by turns elegiac, celebratory, raucous, randy, funny.
..Marie Harris, New Hampshire Poet Laureate, 1999-2004
