Pentimenti by Jesse Glass is a collection of visuals and poetry. Pentimenti: structures within a painting that signal a correction by the creator of the piece. These may range from simple adjustments to an under drawing to the complete painting over of the picture. A poetics can be built on the presence of such hidden structures in texts as well. "amazing original energy and power; he always writes 'up' to his reader, i.e., he assumes that we will ferret out such references as Lupus, an 'alectormantic dance', Baphomet, Charenton, etc. He is never a poet who reins in his imagination to satisfy mass taste. He has in abundance what those poets from the past he's modeled himself after - Blake, Dante, Goethe, Shelley, and Whitman - all had, a faith in his unique visionary road. Glass' world is like no other you'll ever experience in today's poetry." -Robert Peters
