[Anne · Rating 4 out of 5]

This collection of concrete poems and poem objects pretty much pushes the limits of the genre for me. Yes, I asked myself more than once if this could really be poetry. But I loved the aesthetics - the quality of packaging and materials - and the notions of the whole endeavor.
