I’m a male feminist, but this sort of thing is hard for me. I’m never
sure when it’s appropriate for men—we who tend to dominate every

Further Other Book Works is thrilled to present the second in a series of broadsides engaging visual art by poets. This time around, I had the pleasure of sitting with a collage by Rachel Blau DuPlessis for a September poem. Called simply “3,” this 2010 collage is part of DuPlessis’s turn to visual art in recent years, and my response lights off from one of WCW’s late tercets in “The Descent.” It will be printed in an edition of 25 copies.
To purchase a 13”x19” ink jet print of this broadside, signed by both Rachel & me, please click here. Proceeds will support upcoming titles from Further Other Book Works, a fine press imprint to promote writing that straddles the plastic and typographic, with a focus on experimental writing out of Texas.
For those who missed it, the first in this series was a collaboration with Norma Cole, and there are still copies available here. Also, keep an eye out for new projects from Paul Klinger and Roberto Ontiveros in the new year…

“I start small. I start with one sign. Instead of going to language class, I decide at my peril to engage with an associative reading of the sign. Soon, I become convinced that the thorn is a root sticking up from the ground of language.”

After caution prevailed,
the Sentimental Commission:
counseled from fact,

Atomic field folded
out of all developmental context
That, at the start,
this boundless timidity
(this odd slogan,
remarkable article)
It was way back in
low-level / Late ‘40’s
—even after Russia & I
still return
to a proving ground.

Hello walls.

hello accidental shock,
ready record of
abstract thought (Is it real or

everybody’s some
body’s fool—learn
to get along w/o harmonious figures,
well-known things (ideas
that represent them)
