In Robert Tremmel's sly, playful poems, the naked man contains multitudes: alternately bodied and bodiless, Muse and mused-upon, happy to disrupt life on earth and observe it from afar.

Through his eyes, all things are not just possible but probable. -Michael Diebert, author of LIFE OUTSIDE THE SET
