from Robert, on Word Works:
A book work-in-progress. The plan, from an introductory page: "FiftyFive Equals Nine Chapts divided into seven chapts consisting of five sections each, and two chapts, the first chapt and the final chapt, consisting of ten sections each." The piece takes a quietly classical and open design form into spaces of non-sense and language play, and represents one primary pole of my imagination. Its epigraph comes from Borges: "A book that does not contain its counterbook is considered incomplete." A work in that sense related to literary metafictions, by way here of concrete poetry.
from Robert, on Printed Pomes:
Ongoing, and related to the above. A quiet, fragmentary type of concrete or "colored" poetry.
