Broken Music George Lenker

Broken Music is the first volume of poetry by George Lenker. Lenker's poems inhabit a nonlinear world that usually avoids any sense of narrative. He puts readers in time and place with imagery, rhythm and symbols and lets them linger there with their own sense of play and curiosity.



Lenker's verse explores ethereal mists and street-corner shadows, littered with jazz dreams, mystic hobos and ever-present hounds, and carry you to a panoply of destinations: apocalyptic, hallucinogenic, or sometimes just plain old down and dirty.
