Will Alexander's Texas Blind Salamander Feelings is a recovered early work whose language pulses with hallucinatory velocity and psychic intensity. Composed of jagged poetic sequences and speculative philosophical fragments, the collection evokes a world shaped by elemental forces, surreal cosmologies, and charged linguistic improvisation. With its polyphonic textures and disregard for conventional structure, the text unfolds as a sustained act of invocation-part incantation, part cartography of the unseen. Alexander's poetics here are planetary and obsessive, drawn to metamorphosis, to fracture, to the generative power of linguistic disturbance.
