The site came into existence when Brooks’s dissertation research on surrealism in American poetry bubbled over as creative rendezvous with chance procedures and semi automatic writing. Whether haunted by quantum theory or Surrealists from the 1920s floating above his bed, Brooks leaps through life’s wonderful contradictions.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"Each of Brooks Lampe’s poems is like a page lovingly torn from a standard English dictionary and then set beautifully on fire.\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e—HOWIE GOOD, Author of \u003cem\u003eCryptic Endearments\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"The lines fire me like out of a circus cannon.
