Marc Jampole’s Music from Words has been called a stunning first collection of poems that ranges from the elegiac to the experimental. A modern-day Moses sees the burning bush in the suburbs. Gilgamesh is caught in a traffic jam. A former Whiz Kid game show contestant dissolves into psychosis. Each character comes alive in verse, their stories echoing moments of ecstasy, tragedy, irony and comedy. With special guest, Joan Bauer.
