Bio Sketch
LeRoy Gorman writes mostly minimalist and visual poetry. His most recent book, fast enough to leave this world,
is one of tanka published by Inkling Press, Edmonton. More information
on his writing can be found at the American Haiku Archives where he served as
the Honorary Curator for 2012-2013.
The allusive L1, which refers to the "dead man's hand" in poker, successfully sets the tone and mood while the ominous image portrayed in Ls 2&3 enhances the psychological impact.
