In It

by Gale Nelson

Poetry. This short sequence makes use of fifteen single-syllable words: firm, for, form, free, from, in, is, it, of, our, than, that, the, then, this. These words are ordered and clustered variously as means to explore their rhythmic and sound properties. The text is also an attempt to wrestle with sense when the language field is moderately constrained. Go ahead and judge this book in the unadvised manner--the entire text appears, in miniature, on the cover.
