This collection of poems written by Sonny San Juan during the Fifties and early Sixties appears, perhaps appropriately, at a problematic time in our history when everything is becoming anachronistic. Although excessive in many ways, the poems may have some value for the cultural historian as artifacts, proofs of evidences of this or that influence and trend, relics, incunabula--all that deserves an elegy, a prelude to a celebration of ruins. On the whole, the poems here--with some exceptions --- are divertissements in honor of exactly Nothing, what Maliarme calls "the Azure." The Void of the petty bourgeois mind. The twin ghosts of Laforgue and Valery may be called forth to preside over this Nullity. Enough said. - Felix Razon
