Charismatic Spirals

Will Alexander, an archetypal outsider, released his first poetry collection at forty-four while working at the Los Angeles Lakers' ticket office. Three decades later, he has become the city's great living surrealist, existing in a state of 'imaginal hyperdrive.' CHARISMATIC SPIRALS addresses an America circa 2024, where poetry-the art of developing new means of speaking-has never been of such artistic, technological, and political consequence.
