Title: Experimental -- NOT!
Review: I read somewhere: OOOH, experimental poetry, M Loncar. So I got the book. Experimental -- NOT! It's just a bunch of average language spread out on the page. One reviewer said, in effect, "The author's use of space resembles the broad spaces of the American landscape." Are you kidding me? Do people actually think and believe those kinds of things? Do youselves a favor and check out the REAL innovators these days: Writers like Lisa Jarnot, Lee Ann Brown, Anselm Berrigan, Tom Devaney, Rod Smith, Mark McMorris, Juliana Spahr, Chris Stroffolino, etc. This book merely pretends to be experimental. I bet the author doesn't really even know any experimental writers.
Is the review positive or negative?
