Should be in print

This is an extraordinary book, and an important one. It's not Antin's first "talk poems" collection (that would be Talking, pretty nearly) nor his last (Tuning), but it's the purest and most exciting and entertaining collection he has done of this strange form. He goes an talks extemporaneously, out of his large quick store of talk; he records it; he transcribes and prints it in a form, neither prose nor verse, whose ingenuity is subtle and whose suitedness to the project is immaculate. This book is fun. I can't imagine why it's out of print.
