Summary:

The speaker of these poems could be described as gathering various stimuli into sentences of empirical collage, unafraid of mingling with pun and twisted idiom as the sense of place, time, and other relations of self to other evolve. The sequence title's "Pungent" and "dins" both reflect the level of jarring stimuli explored. A sense of humor and play while acknowledging the serious (family, health, food, science...) is essential to this work (and, indeed, essential to the human condition); the leaps are meant to reflect how the brain confronts the present with memory, a layering "concentric" to self.
