The Sentence that Ends with a Comma,

The Sentence that Ends with a Comma is Dean Kostos' first full-length collection. In the poems' protean shifts, they collapse and reconstruct themselves metamorphically and metaphorically: religious sensibility reifies itself in the body of Eros; history merges with a personal past; the province of memory melds with the terrains of New York and Europe, especially Greece. The 'l' of the poet collides with the 'l' of a painting, a window full of mannequin heads, the disembodied spirit of a prostitute, and even decanters of scents -- all with something to tell us about love or loss.
