Scope and Contents

myesis signifies layers and stages of fragmentation. Chapters or sections as fragments of the book; paragraphs as fragments of chapters; sentences as fragments of the paragraphs; phrases as fragments of the sentences; words as fragments of the phrases; letters as fragments of the words. I read the empty spaces. Myesis is an excessive, minimalist writing. Leftwich interweaves Greek mythology, Judaism, comments on music and performance with language poetry and the rules of poetry . He provides several long quotes from contemporary poets. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
