The result is a pornographically-polished lipogram owing as much to the constrained writing tradition of Oulipo as it does to an oddly satisfying timelapse of someone mowing a field with a scythe. The book eschews all words containing ascenders and descenders (the letters b, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, p, q, t, and y) in order to create a highly uniform, "flat" aesthetic. The poems are fixated on this typographic flatness and the book could be thought of as an extended meditation on the shape of "smooth," non-jagged words."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Experimental poetry, Canadian. 650 0 $a Lipograms. 650 0 $a Monomania $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Obsessive-compulsive disorder $v Poetry. 830 0 $a Essential poets ; $v 299. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117033009.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230706014931.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DF755CD0E97711ED8437380758ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
