of expression. He was a surrealist poet whose collections include "Lamps Hurled at the Stunning Algebra of Ants" and "The Apple of the Automatic Zebra's Eye."
He also drew and created assemblage art, notably a piece titled "Entrance to the Non-Euclidean Zoo" which was shown at Old Town's Gallery Bugs Bunny in a notable 1968 surrealist show.
Capable of "the most incredibly vituperative manifestoes," he produced leaflets that he passed out at demonstrations or on the steps of museums.
