Subject Matters

SUBJECT MATTERS is a collection of prose poems that brings to mind the static
magic of Robbe-Grillet's SNAPSHOTS or the haunting precision of Killarney
Clary's WHO WHISPERED NEAR ME. As the title implies, the subject does
matter. Sanders allows his imagination to unleash itself in search of salvation
much more than knowledge. If the reader feels on unsure footing in these mostly
tri-partite pieces, it is because the author does too, with glee. No stone is left
unturned as Sanders careens from poem to poem. The parade of images and
pageant of emotion in the end is both delightful and disturbing. As the poet
writes, "the empire of ego was spellbound." And remains so.
