<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>I get, as you might imagine, some unusual mail, some of it virtual, some not. Right now I&#8217;m receiving maybe ten poems every day from different people, including one person in New Orleans who never signs his or her texts, but merely types them (sometimes directly, sometimes on white paper which is then glued or taped) onto various pieces of commercial cardboard (off-brand soft drink boxes, packaging for facial tissues), slaps a stamp on it &amp; sends it along. But I&#8217;ve long been a recipient of such curiosities. Because I&#8217;ve been writing a poem entitled <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>The Alphabet </i>since 1979, I&#8217;ve received a few items that appear related, starting with a 1983 publication from Romania entitled <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>ABC, </i>with a subtitle that reads <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>1933:<span class=SpellE>Eriocele</span> <span class=SpellE>Lupte</span> Ale <span class=SpellE>Clasei</span> <span class=SpellE>Muncitoare</span>, </i>which I take to be some kind of Communist Party tract (Romanian being one of hundreds, indeed thousands, of languages I do not read). <span class=GramE>That social realist front cover</span> more than makes up for the fact that I can&#8217;t discern a word of <span class=SpellE>Dumitru</span> <span class=SpellE>Alma&#351;</span>&#8217; text. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>Given that <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>The Alphabet, </i>my <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Alphabet,</i> is scheduled for publication next year with the University of Alabama Press, I&#8217;ve paid more attention in recent years to the occasional poem that uses some form of this as (or in) its title. Perhaps the most amazing, given that it was written during roughly the same years I first started my project &#8211; and that it actually uses Fibonacci sequence I employed in <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Tjanting </i>(and which does appear in a couple of minor guises throughout <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>The Alphabet</i>) &#8211; is <span class=SpellE>Inger</span> Christensen&#8217;s 1981 <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'><a href="http://www.bloodaxebooks.com/titlepage.asp?isbn=1852243104"><span style='color:black'>Alphabet</span></a>. </i>Chronologically, Christensen, one of </span><st1:country-region><st1:place><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>Denmark</span></st1:place></st1:country-region><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>&#8217;s major authors, is closer to the New American poetry of the 1950s than she is to more recent post-avant poetics, and to some degree it shows. Christensen&#8217;s <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Alphabet, </i>more than anything else, is a prayer against nuclear annihilation, a position with which I&#8217;m sympathetic, if not a genre I would think to use. It&#8217;s hard to imagine that two poets who both employ Fibonacci at points during their careers could write poems with virtually the same title that are less similar in their aesthetic sensibilities. I didn&#8217;t learn of Christensen&#8217;s work until I came across Susanna <span class=SpellE>Nied&#8217;s</span> translation a couple of years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>A more recent doppelganger is Ellen <span class=SpellE>Baxt&#8217;s</span> <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'><a href="http://www.shearsman.com/pages/books/catalog/2007/baxt.html"><span class=SpellE><span style='color:black'>Analfabeto</span></span><span style='color:black'> / An Alphabet</span></a>, </i>published earlier this year by <a href="http://www.shearsman.com/"><span style='color:black'>Shearsman</span></a>, one of </span><st1:country-region><st1:place><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>Britain</span></st1:place></st1:country-region><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>&#8217;s best presses. <span class=SpellE><i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Analfabeto</i></span><i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'> </i>is, more than anything else, a poetic memoir of a self-identified </span><st1:place><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>Brooklyn</span></st1:place><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'> Jewish lesbian&#8217;s trip to </span><st1:place><st1:City><span class=SpellE><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>Recife</span></span></st1:City><span  style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>, </span><st1:country-region><span   style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>Brazil</span></st1:country-region></st1:place><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>, where she works as an English language instructor. Issues of gender, orientation, religion, language, positionality within the fragile politics of globalization all make an appearance, indeed are pretty much omnipresent throughout, since Baxt is nothing if not a conscientious reporter of her own circumstances. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>To my eye, this is the book&#8217;s strength, but I feel fairly sure that some readers may experience it as the volume&#8217;s weakness as well.

One consequence of this approach, tho, is a 75-page text with no more words to it than another poet might have used for 35 pages, or for 40. For this much experience, it&#8217;s a surprisingly quick read. I was amazed to find myself at the end so quickly, wanting, in fact, to read a lot more. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

The craft is always exacting, if not ground-breaking, and the intelligence, good will &amp; earnestness evident throughout, so I come away with a sense that, tho I&#8217;ve never met her directly, Ellen Baxt would be a terrific person with whom to share a panel or a meal. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
