Johan de Wit

Hippototescopo


Published by West House Books 2000

Edition 1st

Condition Mint

Poems with footnotes. ‘Johan de Wit suspects that the guilty will not listen and his answer is to create formally autonomous literary texts, a pure poetry that is as solid as the world. The co-existence of the text and footnotes splits the poem along two axes of reading in a way which creates a multi-systemicity and opens up language itself as a medium.’ (Robert Sheppard) Typeset at Five Seasons Press.
