...Planes Flying at Night" that zipped into the sky like UFOs and always seemed to hover above our heads no matter how far we ran away. "Opening Flower and Happy Bird" no longer reminds me of a Sierra Club calender, but instead a frenzy of white sparks and screeching howls...
...beginning of his first journal has now hardened into not only a seagoing veteran but a self-conscious author as well: "I am in half a mind to publish!" Since three volumes seem commercially more promising than two, Talbot breaks off his narrative while he and his ship hover on the brink of disaster.

The images, handsomely sculpted, address themes of life and death and life after death. Gods and gargoyles hover in the cramped air, dwarfing all human anxieties. Man is a mite here, pitiable in his ignorance of what matters, or else vainglorious in his quest to find the answers to riddles beyond his solving...
