Notes Kyle J Knapp

Inspired by the works of Arthur Rimbaud, The Beats, and Jim Morrison, Kyle J. Knapp's (1989-2013) final collection of poems also includes several vignettes about the life of a young writer and a short piece imagining a chance encounter with the main character from J. D. Salinger's A Perfect Day for Bananafish. Offbeat, uncompromising, and original are words that have been used to describe Kyle's unique voice, and Notes: Writing Prose in Pleasure of the Park is his captivating swan song. Bonus selections include the short story "Twin Talk" by Patti Abbott-one of seven tales from volume I of the Veridical Dreams series, The Lizard's Ardent Uniform & Other Stories, based on Kyle's dream journals-and the only known interview with the author.
