Scope and Contents

Geof Huth has contributed a forward titled "onewordworld" in which he writes, "To make a poem within the limits of a single word. That is the project. That is the entire project of pwoermds. To eschew grammar. To isolate words from the running water of sentence, To focus attention. To be a wordist more than a writer, To be a wreader more than a reader." pwoermd is definned "n. A single word presented as a poem adn unadorned with a title." [poem + word (w the letters rom each word alternated to produce the neologism)]"This book is dedicated for Bob Grumman (1941-2015). -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
