Flying Backwards
I wrote the poems in Flying Backwards at intervals throughout my life to help me remember and understand those "spots of time" by which, according to Wordsworth, "our minds / Are nourished and invisibly repaired." Only when I became an octogenarian did I see that they told a story. It's a story that has taken me from Kansas City to the Berkshire Hills to the Big Apple-by way of the Panama Canal. - Herbert Knapp
Did You See This?
These poems read as if they were written in response to recent political events. Not so. Almost all of them were written years ago, some over half a century ago, which shows the country has been in the same kinds of trouble for a long time.

When English teacher Barbara Butler's best friend, a transvestite math teacher, is badly beaten but too frightened to identify his attacker, Barbara turns to a former student, now a grown-up detective, to discover the truth. While this book is about teenage gangsters and buffoonish educators, it is also about the way cultural changes tend to outrun our ability to describe them accurately, accounting for our indecisive and illogical efforts to cope with them.
Compound Semiconductor Integrated Circuits
This is the book version of a special issue of the International Journal of High Speed Electronics and Systems, reviewing recent work in the field of compound semiconductor integrated circuits. There are fourteen invited papers covering a wide range of applications, frequencies and materials. These papers deal with digital, analog, microwave and millimeter-wave technologies, devices and integrated circuits for wireline fiber-optic lightwave transmissions, and wireless radio-frequency microwave and millimeter-wave communications.
