Terminal Intelligence

Terminal Intelligence is the second volume of Richard Truhlar’s collected poetry, and spans the years from 1977 to 2010. It provides more insight into this writer’s creative output, and overlaps with his previous collection Dynamite in the Lung (The Mercury Press, 1999) that represented works written between 1975 and 1985.

In this volume, true to his eschewal of a personal style, Truhlar explores poetic terrains as disparate as the layered lyric, oblique aphorism, and photolinguistic translation.
