Poetry. In his tenth book, BRAINLIFTS, long-time New York poet Tom Savage writes and riffs off films, music, dance and art with a sustained aphoristic style, each thought exploding and reverberating in a complex music. Of Tom's work Dean Kostos writes that Tom's idiom "can become a trapdoor through which we fall, finding other structures and ways of speaking." Bernadette Mayer writes, "He transforms the pretty rational souls of stuff into the pretty anti-rational souls, leaping elliptically, sometimes elliptically logically from perception so quickly to its part and art." Alice Notley writes, "I've been reading Tom Savage's poems for a long time and have come to realize that I need each new book."
