Three Poems - Richard Kostelanetz

Having already established his poetry among the most inventive ever, the distinguished man of avant-garde letters, Richard Kostelanetz, realizes further radically formal steps in THREE POEMS. Each is a sequence of one-word texts continuously interleaved with the others in an unprecedented way, in sum offering an unprecedented reading experience. As John Robert Colombo writes, "I sense the strength of the narrative (and there are many narratives throughout) to be elastic or plastic: how the reader molds it in his/her/my/your mind." The book concludes with Kostelanetz's visual essay "Poetry I Shall Not Make." For work of this kind he has earned individual entries in the READERS GUIDE TO TWENTIETH CENTURY WRITERS, CONTEMPORARY POETS, and BRITANNICA.COM, among other highly selective directories.
