A song about R A Lafferty.

"THE CHRYSALIS (Anagrammed Lines)

A shy echo splinters
those shiny parcels.
The chrysalis opens
physical otherness...."

"Perhaps if that field hadn’t been on the verge of its own stylistic revolution—the 'New Wave,' as it was called largely in retrospect, borrowing not just the name but also the attitude, the techniques, and a host of preoccupations from French cinema—then Lafferty would have struck out there as well."

“What’s important for the journalist is not how close you are to power but how close you are to reality." --Bill Moyers via
