Mr. Pavlic has listened closely to our most profound American art, the blues and jazz, and that music has not only helped him achieve poetic form but allowed him to explore a mesh of experience extraneous to literary theories... This is intimate and soulful work, breathing, brushing, and tonguing its instrument.</p><p>In response to Charlie Parker's theory of art, If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn, Ed Pavlic breathes exuberant life into his poetry through rigorous attention to overlapping facets of language--visual, tonal, rhythmic.</p><p><b><i>from </i>Confessions of a Piano Roll Lover: </b></p><p>& this new player, <br> he's just a boy. Well<br> drilled, <br> won't allow his thumb<br> to drag behind his<br> index<br> finger. Mistakes won't leave<br> exit wounds, or<br> bloom<br> in his lapel until<br> they're his alone. Grown.<br> With a pocket<br> Full of rock salt<br> in his gait, & jalapeño<br> beard.</p><p><b>Ed Pavlic</b> received his BA and MA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a PhD from Indiana University.
