EPIPHANIES AND BENEDICTIONS

Earl LeClaire does not write poetry. Earl LeClaire writes life. He takes very high resolution pictures of the world with his mind's camera and then, with the precision of a sci-fi computer somewhere between Clarke's HAL and Asimov's UNIVAC, he translates each pixel into such precise words, lines and stanzas, that one forgets where the color ends and the poetry starts and where did that thief called time disappear.
