by Toni Simon (Author)

Telescope Highway is a great-grandchild of Breton and Eluard's Magnetic Fields and is also akin to the wild vision of Philip Lamantia's poetry and the gnomic magic of the Wizard of Oz. Transmitted in trance and notated with drawings, Toni Simon's apocalyptic "songs out of salt shakers," "appearing within, hidden in a package, the thread, and a mesmerization mirror" are conveyed in a series of profoundly enigmatic, metaphoric communications.
