Alfred A. Yuson's poetry collection, Trading in Mermaids, is a cacophony of sound and images: each line builds to form the visceral and sometimes all-encompassing aura of a moment important enough to remember. The poems take the reader through different countries and cultures and zero in on images both specific and surreal. Where Yuson is speaking of the "inaudible obscenities" in a foreign land, the graves of Chopin and Jim Morrison or Larry Bird's trip to Spain, the world becomes something of a playground. The speakers in these poems are not lost nor are they found: They are living, living, living. (Source: http://galatearesurrection11.blogspot.com/2008/12/)
