This collection of four long-form poems by Stanley Nelson plays with typography and the deconstruction of poetic forms. The result is a sort of exploration of the fragmenting and coalescing habits of the mind against the backdrop of myth, archetypes, and nature.
“This is the most radical opening up of poetic form since Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass. Stanley Nelson is one of those defining figures, one of those who defines an age, not only for his contemporaries, but for posterity.” (Guy Gauthier)
