Michael Basinski: CNYTTAN


Meow Press
334 Bryant #7
Buffalo NY, 14222


16 pp.

Purely textual, and literary, multi-interpretable collages concerned with Artemis, snakes, something "good against meancholik," modern zoology, fairy tale transformations, and other items too numerous to mention--all of them, for me, flowing implicitly or explicitly towards various kinds of re-births. Along the way this masterful infra-verbal poem:

     WIT
     WAT
     ICH
     TCH
     HER

which beautifully expresses a becoming so gradually full as to be tactile.--Bob Grumman
