EQUATIONS = equals

by Joe Ross

In Ross’ seventh book of poetry, he explores the relationship of words— Middle to Excluded, Dizzy to Morality, Language to Stump , for -example—brilliantly revealing the processes of thought and the -associative relationships of everything to everything else, of concepts to gardens to weeds to seeds to plants to addiction to matches. Winner of the 2003 Gertrude Stein Award (selected by Douglas Messerli) Ross is a magician of language.

[Edward Rathke · Rating 4 out of 5]

An interesting experiment with language that can actually hit on some real emotions. Though, if you're not looking for a word game, it's probably best left unread.

Very cool stuff inside for those willing, though.
