But what difference does the looking of a finite terrestrial neurally aglow mammal really make? Deep space. Jupiter. Medellin. Olympic Sydney. Europa. Northern Territory. Other worlds where "The Monkey's Mask" showed poetry could be 'sticky as sex', "Other Worlds" burns poetry in after-images on the retina, illuminating the strangeness, grit and beauty of life at the beginning of the twenty-first century. This is high velocity poetry questioning contemporary living with savage wit.
