"The baddest poet in all of Canada."
FLUSH RIGHT FLUSH RIGHT-Clifton Joseph

"Paul Dutton's Aurealities shines like lunar phosphoresence in its nocturne of pensive sounds and textural linguistic quirks and quarks. So damned refreshing reading the avant-lingua eccentricities of a real poet, who defies the current trend, that claque of politically correct musifiers. Language for invention's sake (no bloody messages) and the stuff will make the listener's hair bristle. New explorations into the darker bowels of caves - metaphor - that and more. Hurray for the inspiare of an original voice, a lover of chromatics in sound. I tell you, Dutton's head is haunted."
FLUSH RIGHT FLUSH RIGHT-Joe Rosenblatt

A number of these poems (some in earlier versions), have appeared in Anerca, Canadian Forum, Cross Canada Writers' Quarterly, curvd h&z, grOnk/Poetry Canada Review, Mental Radio, Poetry Toronto, Rampike, the anthologies Into the Night Life and When Is a Poem, and on the cassettes Voice Mix and Fugitive Forms.

The author is grateful to the Canada Council and the Ontario Arts Council, whose financial support made possible the completion of this book.

Special thanks to Max Nord for kind permission to use his article in the Amsterdam daily Het Parool, from which article "Double-Dutch Talk" derives.

And thanks as well to Victor Coleman, jwcurry, Chris Dewdney, Judith Fitzgerald, Lee Robinson, Mari-Lou Rowley, Lola Tostevin (especially Lola), Gerry Shikatani, and Steven Smith for their comments and encouragement.
