Description
“IS KNOT is: Poems, many incorporating visual elements, in English or Spanish or both, interspersed with visual poems, Fluxus-like texts, hacks, and collaborations. Written in 2016, it is a tour de force of Bennett's unique poetics.
"Your visuals are priceless, John ... I prefer them to so much experimental work, either in the realm of the so-called visual arts or "concrete poetry" (which they really ain't) … your so-called poetry which calls itself verse, but is the cryptically deranged response to "official literature", stands head and shoulders above … Superimpositions of the subconscious stripped of Freudian valor (values?) … And knockout minimalism!" —Iván Argüelles.
