Reviews

[Paul Klinger · Rating 4 out of 5]

4 sections. Like to think of this book in connection with Waldrop's "A Key into the Language of America" and Howe's "Articulation of Sound Forms in Time." Maybe also Tarn's "The Western Lands."

A "Living among" narrative. Two years.

Really impressive poem in section 4: "A history of surrealism in Cattaraugas County"

I tried... but these poems were not accessible nor enjoyable for me.
If there's someone out there who really gets Jerome Rothenberg and doesn't mind explaining him to a newbie, please message me. I'm happy to provide coffee/cookies/tbd.
