Eliot Cardinaux’s short cycle of poems for Palmer, collected here in chapbook form, are nothing short of elusive, incorporating gestures from influences as diverse as René Char, Mette Moestrup, Clarice Lispector, Marguerite Duras, Charles Mingus and Max Roach. These poems inhabit several worlds simultaneously, and somehow manage to run the dialectic to its logical end.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEliot Cardinaux is a poet, pianist, composer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e, and translator working at the intersection of the lyric and improvised music.
