Excerpt

DESCRIPTION: Poetry, 64 pages.
A text in which observation of the writing’s surface is apparently the same as the person observing. The writing is frequently actions or tracings of movement in locations; as if the mind were the person’s skin (in order to see it) and the text has an even luminous dissolution.
