Insubstantial Thoughts on the Transubstantiation of Objects

by Geraldine Monk

Poetry. This assertion of the power of the reader writing and the writer reading emphasizes sound and letters in a way that one has come to expect from this tricky writer. "The Lone Reader./ Incommunicado/ Unutterings sucked in silent/ body folds." There is a move in the text outward from thought to "To perform is to in habit space./ Performance is aggressive occupation of/ place. Convolvulaceous. Territorial laundering." This lovely edition was published by West House Books as a supplement to The Paper 3 /4: Additional Poetry, Performance & Site Specificity. Geraldine Monk's NOCTIVAGATIONS is also available from SPD. Saddlestapled chapbook.
