Maybe it's because "A railroad line runs im-/mediately behind the/parietal lobe." Or maybe it's because "Phallic ritual is a/literary genre that blends/aspects of natural rubber/& cognitive therapy..." I don't know, but Mark Young's poetry opens out into a kind of Gesamtkunstwerk, a total art work, limning our present moment. His work is at once intellectually engaging and truly entertaining. No small feat. I'm a fan. - Tom Beckett
