Reviews

[Marzi Margo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yet another suitable collection of asemic writing and visual poetry...These are other publications which are more extensive in length and more variegated in style, but "END SOCK" is nonetheless very enjoyable, and I intend to revisit it from time to time.
