In Rhapsodomancy, Eckhoff remembers Pitman Shorthand and Unifon, a 40 character phonetic alphabet. "Using these two phonic alphabets as image, his poems tease out a relationship between voice and words and visual poetry." According to Geof Huth, "His is a visual poetry at the edge of the textual and fully visual, resplendant with fragmentary bits of language and formal games filled with humor...We learn from this book that play is the deepest form of learning." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
