 recently someone said here that prose writer thomas pynchon pseudonymously 
 published a volume of poetry. if this was not a joke, i would like to ask: does 
 anybody know more about it? perhaps even have a copy to sell?

                        sphärenschäden, schattenrisse,
                          zart-splittriger hefeteig,
                       selbstbeschreibung: mitte dreißig,
                        wissenschaftlicher angestellter.

                         scharlachrote zorneswellen,
                          'grand mal'-epileptiker,
                          elbgänger mit pferdelunge,
                         warenzeichen wie "algemarin".

                          als tragender trompetenton
                         küss' ich kirsten, yella, jan,
                      landschaft, kunstwerk, gotteschiffre:
                        oh glühender himmel auf papier!
