Wrote Robert Creeley: "I hesitate to introduce any such term as 'meditation' or 'reflection,' because this work is not apart from its thinking and/or composition, so to speak-and that, among other things, constitutes its exceptional value. I find the whole work to be a deeply engaging preoccupation with, and articulation of, what life might be said, factually, to be. But not as a defined subject, nor even a defining one-but as one being one. That is an heroic undertaking, or rather, place in which to work/write/live. Its formal authority is as brilliant as any I know." Scalapino is the author of thirty books of poetry, inter-genre fiction-poetry-criticism and plays, including recently Day Ocean State of Stars' Night: Poems and Writings 1989 and 1999-2006 (Green Integer), Zither &amp; Autobiography (Wesleyan University Press), The Tango (Granary Press), Orchid Jetsam (Tuumba), and Dahlia's Iris-Secret Autobiography and Fiction (FC2 Publishers).
