Scope and Contents

Retallack writings are a cross between philosophy, poetry and experimental literature. She "explores what poetry means and how poetry intersects with other intellectual forms - charts, drafts, encyclopedias, dictionaries, lexicons, grammars, games, translations and just plain linguistic forms." She also utilizes words formed only with consonants with vowels eliminated. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
