Alan Sondheim

Alan Sondheim is a force of nature: a Category 5 mindstorm blowing in from all points of the compass at once. Coded and plain-speaking, philosophical and emotional, artistic and banal: to read Sondheim is to fall through a wormhole into a full world. And why shouldn't a work of art be a world’ His art is writing as a performance act even more direct than Allen Ginsberg speaking into his tape recorder. — Jim Rosenberg
