Goodbye Public and Private by James Sanders
PoetryGoodbye Public and Private is the work of a barbarian Thomas Edison—poems that are not simply wildly inventive but rather the end-result of a perpetual cycle of creation, destruction, and re-creation of poetic convention on every page. “[A]s a series of discarded habits,” Sanders offers us everything from diagram poems—the21 st century equivalent of Charles Peirce's logical graphs—to procedural, conceptual, concrete, hand-written, hand-drawn poems driven as much by sight and sound as sense. We are awash in language and we are grateful. – Lori Emerson$16.00
