Shearsman Books has published Portraits, an ebook by Carlos
Blackburn, at
http://www.shearsman.com/pages/books/ebooks/ebooks_home.html. It's
the record of encounters with three autistic adults. Formally
beautiful and eloquently clear-eyed, and informed with a profound
compassion and admiration for his subjects.
While you're checking it out, there are lots of other goodies at the
Shearsman site, including a wonderful ebook by Geoff Squires and a
catalogue of treasures. The recently-published translations of
Vallejo's Trilce and Complete Later Poems, by Michael Smith &
Valentino Gianuzzi, and Maurice Scully's Tig, are I think essential.
