This omnibus from North America's most redoubtable poet brings together three previously-published collections: Swimming through the Darkness (1974), Roe Roe Roe Your Boat (1978), and Will You Hold My Breath (1994). Like Bukowski, Choo 3T Fish's poetry can be direct and grotesque. Like Kerouac, it is an energetic palliative against yearning and loss. Like Ginsberg, it is infused with an alienated sexuality. His oeuvre is, among other things, lyrical, vigorous, challenging, erudite, confessional, erotic, illuminating ... sui generis. And always overflowing with fish.
her movements gentle as the day
her teeth as white
she keeps her thoughts
she laughs at haddock
Choo 3T Fish is the recipient of the National Poetry Award in 1974 for Swimming through the Darkness, and the Boating Association Truite d'Or in 1980.
