Some Sentences Look for Some Periods

Charles Alexander’s Some Sentences Look for Some Periods is a work in prose that begins with a challenge to the notion of perfection, and, as the sentences evolve, becomes a journey through butterflies, piano chords, Bejart ballet, rip tide beach, and much more. “Evolve” may be the key word, as these sentences unfold with a sense of dream and inevitability, yet stay true to the spirit of art making that values what John Keats called “negative capability,” the capability of existing amid uncertainty, the process of getting somewhere even when you don’t know where you’re going.
