Book Description
Inspired by Virginia Woolfs The Waves, Cloud Bristle is a cacophony of voices strung together like jetsam pearls glimmering in a set of fake teeth. Linda, Lucy, Lucinda, and Dorrie are four women on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Caught in the thrum of the moment in the paranoia-hungry monastery of Chinatown, they share their herstory of escapades and concomitant joy. Each tells her individual story in the Society of Fire of Light, designed to filter out an existential angst-ridden world filled with sexual boredom and brutality. As virtual nobodies wrapped in delicious anonymity, they seek refuge in the precepts of muted desire and the Tao sheds light on their predicament as specimens of the second sex. Lucinda lusts after another womans flower, only to find that shes gained a universal creed of self-possession, transcending jealousy for absurd aesthetics. Linda taps into the wellspring of the comical gods, tuning into Yabba dabba doo at will, chasing the evil spirits away. In this darkly woven comedy rapt with poison pen and raucous threads of scintillating beauty, the female voice is scattered like pollen throughout the text at intervals with a magnificent joy in the tradition of the talk story. Coloratura turning into brazen operatic feats of bravura leaves the reader dying for more oxygen in this illuminated text of desire. Cloud Bristle floats out the door into the square of the city, where dazzling words find their aegis under the accordion sun.

Book Description
Two Shades of Regret is a sine qua non of Sino-thrill poems which border on the evanescent and the tripnotic hem of the roseate lyric, lovely paeans of blooming immortality as seen on the paintings of a Ming vase. These new eclectic poems, lush and ghostly, of hyacinth and radical etiology, draw from the ecosphere of flora and fauna, are pictos of the efflorescent flamage and its celestial Chinese ethos. Rich with tingling sensate of zen splurge, and chimeric value, they blend the soul force of rampant color with the self-styled mimicry of the blurred past.
