Scope and Contents

Bennett has combined his distinctive calligraphic poems with 19 emblem poems of Andreae Alciati (1492- 1550). Peter Ganick describes Bennett's work in an afterward. "John M. Bennett's poetry could be seen as impenetrable and difficult to engage. However, given a bit of time and attention, one realizes it is vibrantly musical and lexically creative work. The poems rarely 'make sense' in the conventional meaning purveyed by Time and Newsweek magazines, but what interesting poetry ever has or will. Instead one is treated to daring neologisms, dangling parentheses and quotation-marks, strange vispo transductions of renaissance texts with ancient woodcuts, and his finely tuned blocks of poetry/prose." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
