Empire Life

Poetry. This much anticipated first full-length edition of Albon’s work brings together two long pieces: the title poem, 88 eight-line lyrics, is a workaday fleshing out of time spent under inner and outer American weathers, and Cosmophagy marks a daring incursion into the heart of the sentence. For a reader first encountering this writing, Albon’s purposeful and mature technique will make motion/ & emotional/ coffers change. Albon’s poetry has appeared in many journals and anthologies, including Rhizome, The Gertrude Stein Awards in Innovative Poetry, O Anthology, Ribot, and Hambone. He lives in San Francisco.
