Trenchwheat's later work was largely accomplished with the aid of macaroni noodles, glitter and paper plates. The Reactive Prophet, however, was rendered by other means.

Trenchwheat was reknowned for his keen wit and later, for his deepening madness.

Canadian. Born 1927 in Grimsby, Ontario. He comes in reading a book, bumps his nose, laughs, drops a poem discreetly -- no one picks it up. He writes conspirator's notes in blue journal. Moves on: receives? Boots. Form of? A crow.

"There is a bone in your ear which does not belong there!"

- Trenchwheat to Nathanael West, Hollywood, 1939.
