about

Originally issued in 1975, Mirror images features Toby Lurie and his wife Jan Lurie performing poems from his book Mirror Images which is poetry written for multiple voices in performance.

There is, indeed, a lot of stuff called double counterpoint, not to mention mirror images, silence and syncopation. etc., etc., in these poems. But letÕs leave the next generation of doctoral candidates to tease their minds over such matters. Our pleasure as readers/performers, is to delight in the experience of reenactment and realization, and in so doing to speak both with ourselves and to others. And that, I suspect, is exactly what Toby Lurie would like.

-Geoffrey Sommerfield
York, England

Toby Lurie's poetry is actually something really new. It is oral and aural poetry for voice and ear. When read silently it is also eye poetry - - - it does the things that concrete poetry does and very successfully. It is semantic poetry, by analysis and juxtaposition and repetition it brings out all the old meanings and all sorts of new meanings from commonplace words that have become worn and frayed and taken for granted.

-Kenneth Rexroth
