| land partition louis armand melbourne: textbase publications, 2001 isbn: 0-9578114-2-X 96pp available from shakespeare & sons, prague available from amazon.com "The language of 'internally fissured realities' ... is dense, sound-driven, and erudite. The territory being mined is somewhere between language and geography, but there is a stubborn (and tenaciously coherent) essay on the modern here, particularly modern art. The equally tenacious reader will be rewarded by a sober sensibility." --Andrei Codrescu, EXQUISITE CORPSE "Armand's ideal poet controls not primarily with language's rhythmic music, but with how words collide and warp upon themselves ..." --Ethan Paquin, THE BOSTON REVIEW Read an extract |
