"The first book of poems I assembled in 1980, Fresh Window was written in the late 1970's in my East Village apartment. My friend, Gerard Malanga, selected, arranged, and edited the poems in this book. It reveals the youthful enthusiasm I still had at age 28, and shows forth the spirit of Dada in new, universal manner."
