Overview

Poetry. Art. Achieving prominence in his first 25 years as poet, editor and publisher Douglas Blazek eventually grew disenchanted with his accomplishment. So he lit the fuse to his limits and followed the sparks toward a source of greater brilliance. The next 25 years he spent deep in the matrix of creation and self-transformation re-writing, repeatedly, year after year, the originally published versions of his poetry. In 2012 Blazek’s life’s work is now being published by Edition Muta–with cover art collages by the author. This volume marks the first in the series and contains interior artwork by Rick Myers.

The poems of Douglas Blazek are beautifully crafted, spare, valuing language, word by word, keeping a clear vision.–Brenda Hillman

There is a fine consistency to the poems of Douglas Blazek. They have, again and again, a visionary charge that is delivered with economy and precision. He is gifted with second sight and spiritual penetration. A great delight in language carries his work forward, stylistically, on a tide of enthusiasm and even rapture.–David Young

What I admire about the poems of Douglas Blazek is that none of it has been said before. Their imagery is astonishing. Their craft well-learned over the years. The poems are compact and gnarled with insight–wise. And they are many.–Dennis Schmitz
