His recent books include <i>Cyberspace</i> (Granary Books) and <i>Snippets</i> (Tibor de Nagy Editions), both with Winkfield artwork, <i>Blast from the Past</i> (Skanky Possum Press), <i>Postcards on Parade</i>, a musical play (Bamberger Books) and <i>Routine Disruptions</i> (Coffee House Press). <p/>"There's a lot of heart in his poems--really these songs, because they come from a ranging mastery of everything from classical opera to old-time Country Western. Kenward Elmslie tells the insistent tales of our tribe with great humor and seemingly endless invention."--Robert Creeley.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>As a member of the first generation New York School of Poets, Kenward Elmslie introduced contemporary poetry to Broadway in the form of musicals.
