Poetry. This is a collection of free- wheeling improvisational linked poems written by Steve Dalachinsky & Yuko Otomo in a collaborative process. Non-Italic lines indicate Dalachinsky's writing and Italic lines indicate Otomo's. The front cover collage and all four collages inside the book were done collaboratively between Dalachinsky and Otomo. Together they visited art exhibits during the summer of 2017 and found inspiration for this book.--from the Postscript

FROZEN HEATWAVES rises from the page as a score of joyous originality. From first reading, I was drawn through the text in its entirety. Color, shape, and line build a fresh and potent linguistic surprise from artists I have long admired. Deftly composed and mutually responsive literature by these two masters reveals poetic collaboration at its finest.--Sheila E. Murphy
