He's probably (paradoxically) one of the most famous unknown poets in America today...and the long running series that is The Dillinger Poems is his most famous creation. By his own crude estimates, the poem, if it were gathered together in one complete volume, would run well over 3,000 pages. jy Over the course of the last 35 years or so I’ve written reviews of many of Todd’s books and read a great many more.

I have known and worked with Todd for over ten years and, like John, I believe that he's talented in a way that is extremely unique. I just completed a five date reading tour with him (L.A., Berkeley, San Francisco, Sacramento and Santa Cruz) and even thought he read the same parts from Riddle each time, I always heard new and subtle nuances. I recommend that you (whoever you are) get a copy of Riddle. BTW, Lummox Press is now offering Riddle in an EBook format, which you can download onto your computer. I hope you enjoy it.
