These intimate, funny, engaging poems make forays into the philosophical, sneak into the personal, and are playfully profound. Stephen Bett has produced a double album of minimalist meditations on 78 musicians that expands its field of meaning on repeated listenings. There's a nod to John Cage and chance in the alphabetical organization, while each side brings its own heroes and villains, accidents and colours. Every track is a delight.

"Stephen Bett "s writing (and college teaching ) life has been informed by the "counter tradition " of Black Mountain, the San Francisco Renaissance, and the New York School (1st and 2nd generations ), and how that played out in Canada with the TISH poets, and beyond. His more recent books are "minimalist " in form, often stretching into "serial poems " (book-length "linked poems " ). This allows for the surprise of echoing back and forth --everything from idea to image to cadence. Bett 's work like its creator is recognized as funny, satirical and unique. He lives in Vancouver. Previous books include: "Re-Positioning," "Track This: A Book of Relationship," "Extreme Positions," "Sass 'n Pass," "Three Women," "Nota Bene Poems: A Journey," "Trader Poets," "High-Maintenance," "High Design Refit," and "Cruise Control"
