Else, in Substance advances specific tactics
for constructing poems of sentences, or parts of sentences. Indeed, Marjorie
Welish investigates a variety of devices by which she defamiliarizes sentences
in building these lyrics. The title poem proposes that a word is put through
trials of similarity and difference. Another poem, titled "Possible
Fires," compiles three procedures for rendering sentences from words,
or rather, allows the relay, a variant of the relay and an alogorithm
to do their work. "The Logics" imparts a poem of phrases or
sentences, both declarative and interrogative. These and the rest of the
poems that constitute this book affirm Marjorie Welish as one of America's
most challenging and rewarding authors. |
