Jim Dunn’s Angry Bull’s Cadence is a unique little book of abecedarian poems, one of the oldest forms of acrostic poems traditionally used for sacred and didactic purposes. These 26 poems written in bursts of Alphabetic inspiration, were written meticulously over a 10 year period.
They each have strange and curious rhythms and energies — themes and images emerge under the strict order of the 26 letters of the alphabet. Jim was committed to a strict Abecedarian aesthetic, twenty six poems twenty six words per poem.
From each of these 26 poems a certain magic emerges, a poetry of the most basic elements — ABCs — an Angry Bull’s Cadence that increases with the rhythm and energy of each sparse creation.
