Inman’s poetry uses an anti-representational system of language. Mark Wallace, in an online article for Fascicle, noted in Inman’s work the tendency for patterns to “move across poems.” Wallace found “brief images, oddly juxtaposed and undermining each other; phrases and sentences torn up by improperly placed periods; slash marks, jump cuts, stray bits of words; moments thick with meanings that never quite complete themselves; social ironies, a sly and biting humor.… It’s the movement that matters, the swoops, twists, barriers, jolts."
P. (Peter) Inman’s collections of poetry include Platin, ocker, Red Shift (Roof), Criss Cross (Roof), Vel, at. least and Ad Finitum. His work has been published in Ron Silliman’s influential anthology of Language poetry In the American Tree.
