Description:

Hannon does in poem after poem, trust oblivion that is, with the slenderest of reeds. His work has been widely published in journals and anthologies. He is the author of three full-length collections: Poems & Days (1985), Ordinary Messengers (1991), and Trusting Oblivion (2002). Kenneth Rexroth said of Hannon's work, "A very good poet indeed, and certainly one of the few Tantric writers in any language who is both profound and witty."

Days by Themselves 

If, in poetry, paradox can transcend its rational constraints, revealing an almost ineffable truth, then Roddan's poetry offers the truest sense. A master of personification, Roddan continually pesters our imaginations, and he does so with a disarming dose of grace, compassion, and irony.
