Synopsis

The Collage Poems of Drafts are two sequenced works for reading and looking that move back and forth across the porous border between language and image. These mixed media constructions join the whole long poem project by DuPlessis with a particular flair for juxtaposition and evocativeness beyond and within language.

About this title

Review:

With DuPlessis’s Collage Poems, readers are pulled into the alphabetic and antialphabetic matrix of Drafts as analog travelers “from dot to dot and mite to mite”: where words fail, swelling the circuits of correspondence, pleasure of color, motility, texture going viral. English: open here.
