Poetry. Craig Watson's collections of poetry include FREE WILL (Roof, 2000), REASON (Zasterle, 2000) and PICTURE OF THE PICTURE OF THE IAMGE IN THE GLASS (O Press, 1992). He lives Conanicut Island, at the mouth of Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island. "Craig Watson's engaged lyric continues to discover "more songs in the gaps" of the system; as he traces the antinomies, his long poems build toward an almost orchestral scale and ordonnance. Fiercely and deliberately, Watson redesigns the echoes inside such hollow abstractions as Reason and Free Will, and so allows us to hear, even with "Ears Knotted Into the Wall," the real music of thought"--Andrew Joron.
