Dear Louise
Phyllis Webb's _Naked Poems_ is one of the central texts of Canadian
postmodern poetry; you can find a reference to it in my article
'Lyric/Anti-lyric' posted at "LYRIC/ANTI-LYRIC:s ome notes about a
concept." Lynx: poetry from Bath (well the link's at my home page).
You can get a copy of your own (that is, it's included in its entirety
therein), by ordering _The Vision Tree: Selected Poems_ from
Talonbooks(which I'm sure can be found on the web). And all her poetry is
among the very best from Canada...
I'm thinkng that Charles Olson's essaying at form, including the famous
'Projective Verse' fits in here...

People, people -
