Description
Ludic and labyrinthine, fascinated by innocence while syntactically complex, See About advances a longstanding Franco-American conversation about innovative poetics, generative constraint, and hybrid forms. In eight chapters of eight poems, each an octave, Smirou's eccentric menagerie--from grand lion to tiny worm, and featuring the dodo--squints at animal subjectivity. Poised between exhibition and exhibitionism, inventory and invention.Product Details
