Bilateral Asymmetry

by Don Riggs

Overview

"That someone could write so many sonnets is not a surprise. That someone could write so many good, witty, poignant, thoughtful, alert sonnets, page after page of them, as Don Riggs does, is amazing. Paintings, boy scouts, temporary cats, different kinds of nakedness, house flies, tarot readings and memories of the poet's father are a few of the dozens of subjects that motivate theseemotionally-complex poems which are much more than mere formal display. The drawings are sly charmers. This book is a delight, and an event." - Daisy Fried

About the Author

Don Riggs has been writing and drawing since the 6th grade. Over the years he has gone through a number of stylistic evolutions. In three previously published chapbooks (as in "Bilateral Asymmetry") he integrates drawing and words.

All of the drawings in this book were done by Don Riggs, but several were copied from or in the style of: George Perez, Neal Adams, Saul Steinberg, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Robert M. Place, the Waite-Rider Tarot deck, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Boris Vallejo, M.C. Escher, Leonard Baskin, and anonymous engravers in 17th-century alchemical texts.
