How much of the current success of the Obama/Biden ticket can one put down to canny marketing? That big "O" logo, for instance (as I'm reminded by Daily Kos), is a brilliant piece of design. Check out the witty variations on the O tailored for 23 – count 'em, twenty-three – different subgroups of potential Obama supporters.

The most surprising birthday present last week was an appearance in the "Issue 1" anthology, along with 1499 other poets, non-poets, & bits of nominal internet gibberish. Here's "my" poem (p. 1135), which I rather like, & will be adopting (or at least cannibalizing):
Like white hintsLike honest phrasesLike right yearsThere he might be a method eventhough he thumbs like a phraseIn early springhe scrawls herThis current may lose and glance, butit is bitterly whiteHe is whiteBecause of everything thatis luminousSeeing like a coverthe clean writings, lost bya fair note,slip

a good thought exercise--thank you
maybe what you call “crosscutting of lexis & range of reference” is only one point of comparison. might syntax be another?
and the lyricism of Prynne is not so much foreshortened as anamorphic. still, you were right to choose a term from painting to describe it.
is it the earlier Prynne [eg White Stones] that you compare Fuller’s work to?
sorry, I responded to your questions with more questions. as I said, a good thought exercise…
On Issue 1:
At least you got one that suits you. The one attributed to me is on page 1773. I think it was written on a diaper during a drug-induced orgy at an assisted living facility; translated in Nigeria and then e-mailed in a mass "Mr. Esquire, esq." spamming to a three-year-old who also accidently saw the most horrifying clips from Silence of the Lambs and made some crucial editorial decisions before converting it to .pdf.
Oh, shoot. It does suit me, doesn't it?
