O knihe

"And also sat on a stool..." The first thing I noticed in Bennett's IN ISIBLE on a tool are the gaps in words, missing letters, and then I noticed that these letters are present, but displaced. The letters floating detached from their baselines insist on an abnormally active process of meaning-building on the part of the reader. The flow of reading, let's say, is disrupted, and not so much by the absences in the words as by the misplaced presences of the floating letters. Poetry has always slowed the reading process, but this letter-displacement device forces us to think not only about the fact of our reading being slowed, but we also cannot avoid thinking about the manner in which this is achieved. - Jim Leftwich Bennett's new cycle of poems here beg for two voices. The letters falling out of their lines, as it were, implies a sort of gravitational pull , as if the bottom line exerts its control over the other elements (following which analogy it would presumably be a dense centre, making the reversed words visitants from the other hemis[here...) Or else, they drop out of their words into the void beneath, as in the Plinko game on The Price is Right... But then they form their own pattern, overlain by the lines, especially due to the size difference. Or like a field of letteral stars with words nebulizing against it. - Olchar E. Lindsann
