Poetics. Preface by Charles Bernstein. POETICS@ represents the first book of poetics to emerge from an electronic community, including 133 e-mails from 67 writers. ... the material for this book was mostly gathered from the first two years (and 10,000 printed pages) of the poetics list [at SUNY Buffalo]. The book represents ... the beginning of a new era. Like all emergent technologies, the usefulness-to-poetry of electronic mail was not apparent until a few poets gained access -- Joel Kuszai, from the foreward.
