Poetry. "Themes, word clusters, torn images meander through FOR REVERY: our just-born century looks at its aged face. Like leaves carried into the present form the symbolist tree, 'O-s,' a sound, a conceit, and a breathing wander from one poem to the other. A bit absent-minded, a bit nostalgic they carry a Verlaine-like rococo flavor: 'O reverie of my truest encounters,' 'O journey of desire O elsewhere reverie.' The 'O' appears also on Jull Koetke Thompson's cover, a sign floating in a sky smeared with charcoal clouds on top of a windy horizon, a black cutout framing words which appear in the text: 'famous nicknack,' 'befuddled longing,' 'probative experience.' An injured world of 'non plot followed by plot followed by etcetera' escapes itself in these disjoined choreographies of daydreaming: 'Do human beings sing as not to hear the simple smash-up of anything around?'"-Julian Semilian and Sanda Agalidi, Exquisite Corpse.
