Hopeful Buildings by Charles Alexander (Chax Press, paperback)
Publication Date: February 1, 1990
Publisher Marketing: "This book collects six works, different from each other in many respects, but all moving with a strong investigative force. Thinking is the experience of everyday living, and Charles Alexander's work is a poetry of thinking. But it is experience, not difficulty, that wonderfully complicates these poems and brings them very close. I hope many people will read HOPEFUL BUILDINGS and take great pleasure both in its detail and in the larger construct that the details, perceived, provide. I do"—Lyn Hejinian
