Syntactic still life
clutter Tastes / roaming sequence
Rather, scale
& to coarse sub-men
This thing this
grouped-together northern ritual
This holy pup-tent
(to break down
idea some-)

This is the first in a series of broadsides engaging visual art by poets. For this piece, I asked Norma Cole to send a collage or drawing, to which I’d respond w/a July poem. Her collage, Nicht War Rosie, takes its title from Tom Raworth’s 1979 Poltroon Press book, Nicht Wahr, Rosie? It will be printed in an edition of 20 copies.
If you’re interested in purchasing a 22”x17” ink jet print of this broadside, 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.
If you’re in Austin or the Bay Area, email first if you’d rather I hand you a broadside in person: cm49600@gmail.com.
