Presa Press, 2017

Widely published poets Alison Stone and Eric Greinke wrote these inventive poems together from February, 2014 to April, 2017. Although they each wrote an equal number of lines in each poem, they used a variety of patterns, ranging from simple, every-other-line patterns to more complex forms wherein they alternated beginnings, middles, endings and titles. The tone of these poems is varied too, ranging from ironic and humorous to philosophical and elegiac, from narrative to lyric. The voices of Alison and Eric blend seamlessly into a bold third persona, a gender-neutral and ageless punk poet who can both whisper and shout.
