Thanks for the books! THE is great -- have you seen Rory MacBeth's Alphabetical Bible? or the minimal poems of Aram Saroyan? Two of my favorites which this reminds me of. I dig the austerity of the book as well, from the cover to the type. Oh, also check out Craig Dworkin's PARSE. Blow your mind. And Color Dreams, so different, is simply beautiful, a perfect melding of text & image (hard to do well). And Kelly's anthology is simply, well, how can you go wrong a group of poets like that? Thank you so much for reaching out to me. These are superb projects that I'm so happy to live with! - Kenneth Goldsmith (wikipedia page for Kenneth Goldmith)
