Burned Kilim Poems by Robert S. Pesich
		"...carefully and beautifully crafted."      --Kim Addonizio "The poems... engage you, draw you into the intimate existence of another human being..."      --Alan Britt "His work is that looking back without any of the pretentious self-consciousness that pervades most of our post-modern poetry."      --Paul B. Roth
				If it frightens you, go ahead and tear apart the poem. Tear it into long white hair. Leave it as bedding for bird nests.      --Robert S. Pesich
