Windore //Aaron Levy Ed. 50, 29 pp. Handmade handmade cover, hardware bindings, transparencies of poetry, photographs. Here for inside pages (note transparency effects).	"This is one gorgeous book. My first thought, opening it, was "How butch!" Then I thought of Oppen's works literally nailed together on boards (and how the librarians at UCSD haven't been able to deal with that -- have broken up the notebooks in order to get the pages into binders -- ask Rachel [Blau DuPlessis] about this sometime). Then of Ponge's Soap and its obsessive focus on a subject. And I haven't really begun reading it through as yet. Kristen, if you aren't sending your books to Charles Alexander, you should, forthwith. You're rapidly becoming one of the very best "art printers" in the US. And I love the work you've chosen to focus upon." - Ron Silliman, Sat, April 15, 2000 "I simply wanted to tell [you] how deeply engaged I was by the sequence of texts and images. It speaks to many issues central to my own poetics, but does so in a way I might never have conceived. So my feeling toward the work is one of a paradoxical intimacy and distance, a far-away-nearness, as one often feels toward the world itself." - Michael Palmer, Wed, May 3, 2000 "It's such a good idea and the way of dealing with the biblical prohibition against sight is fascinating--I'm always trying to read through each window and can't quite and then look at bottom of page and it gets more and more mysterious and fragmented. Very beautifully done. The only thing I don't like--forgive me--is the cover. I know, I know, it's meant to look as it does--but I do find it ugly although then it's a pleasure to open the ugly black cover and see these amazing texts and images!" - Marjorie Perloff, Thu, May 11, 2000 "It was waiting for me when I returned from a semester's teaching in Iowa ten days ago, and I've only just now gotten a chance to spend some time with it. It's a remarkable book, I think, with the filtering of all apprehending senses through the visual /visible /view /vision, and its enactment in the literal windows. There are quite moving passages, not the least being the final (27) page of text before the glossing and the points of recognition of the impossibility of light -- or view -- without obscuring. - Susan Wheeler, Tue, May 23, 2000 To download this eBook, visit the E-Library.
