Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. Art. This book features important new visual works by one of the U.S.'s best known and respected avant-garde writers. The principal subject of my poems is qualities indigenous to words themselves; everything else should be shunted aside as something else--Richard Kostelanetz. [Kostelanetz] is probably the world's most experimental writer, or at least he represents the farthest extreme of the formalist approach within the broader field of 'experimental writing.'...His output in 'visual poetry, ' a medium between poetry and painting which differs from most concrete poetry by being non-linear and non-synatactic, is among his most significant work--A Reader's Guide to Twentieth-Century Writers
