Look at his poem "Abyssal Reminiscence" in its entirety: shortfall evanescent repeal reel pitch flinch grate grill cultivatesow sew stitchfoamcoalesce>From beginning to end, Abyssal Recitations reads this way. The best way to enjoy these poems is to forget how you've been taught poetry should read and focus intently upon the relationships that Heller's lexicon creates, especially the vibrations of sounds and senses his words generate.
