Woodland Pattern™    Book   Center		Tod Thilleman Tod Thilleman was born and raised in Racine, Wisconsin. He moved to New York at the age of 18 and worked for a brief period with Pace Editions. After the abandoned Williamsburg waterfront, paper-making, the typewriter, protests and marches, the guitar, Reagan and the 1980's, he started the reading series at CBGB's 313 Gallery on the Bowery. He now produces (with his wife, Katya Edwards) fiction, poetry, and art books through their small press Spuyten Duyvil.

from Between Tod Thilleman

Let be the manifestation you seek For the world's oyster's universal undoing Physical charge the lightining beam Bolt upon memory's real world Balancing perdition the human course Between failure of love and domination of a name Whose seduction bothered the eye of man Where he left, pursuing Daemonic trace Rumoring age for the shape of a petal The garland of which mind bent to history Handing forth scriptural assault To henchmen delivering one citadel Down-clutching my robe of white in servitude Air of a long and bloody battle's end Releasing erotic stamp from dandelion stem All she ever wore won't form I'll catch And bring bright life To the rime of men.
