My only chance to go beyond being breach-</i><br><i><br>to resist being quelled as a bit of inner city entropy-</i><br><i><br>is to speak up for the public which has birthed me.</i><br><i><br>To build this language house. To make this case. Create.</i><br><i><br>This loving which lives outside time. Lord, this is time.</i><br><i></i>-from &quot;Turning into Dwelling&quot; </p><p>Christopher Gilbert's award-winning <i>Across the Mutual Landscape</i> has become an underground classic of contemporary American poetry.
