Ted has written the poems with a light touch, deftly chiseled, and delved into large questions about selfhood, art, and mortality in his powerful debut. The book explores a multitude of landscapes and into every degree of clarity- light and shadow, twilight, moonlight, and candlelight. Inaugries, Aristotle’s Nik, Xeno Laps, and Writing an aid to me are full of longing, empathy, synergy, accrual, optimism, ebullience, deep feeling, and sonic invention. At once distressing, revealing, and poetically dynamic an enlightening collection that will delight those who look for more than an unpretentious expression.

About the Author

Ted Landrum is a poet, critic, teacher, and artist, with extensive architectural and teaching experience in the US and Canada. He began writing what he calls "archi-poetry while studying architecture in Indiana. He then sustained the poetry habit while practicing architecture in New York City, where he was influenced by the jazz, the theatre, and the vitality of that great tumultuous city. Having lived in nearly a dozen cities, spiraling from Chicago to Montreal, Ottawa to Vermont, Ted now lives in Winnipeg, where he teaches architecture at the University of Manitoba, and continues to juggle artistic, professional and intellectual pursuits. His poetry and criticism have been published in a wide variety of venues: On Site Review, Brooklyn Rail, Lemon Hound, CV2, The American Society for Aesthetics, The Winnipeg Review, Edge Condition, and in a quirky academic book called Quality Out of Control. Between distractions, he is building an archive of archi-poetic research at www.ubuloca.com.
