Xerolage 34 features two new sequences by David Daniels, whose epic
The Gates of Paradise (http://www.thegatesofparadise.com) is featured
at UbuWeb. Comprising twenty-two of his shape poems, "The Flowers of
Mental Illness" and "The Big Bozo" bear Daniels' torch of
unprecedented tradition with elaborate vispo compositions in his
signature medium, Microsoft Word. An obsessive devotion to carving out
micro-liberations in the totalizing and programmatic structure of
(the) Word is at the heart of this poet's formalist genius. If you
don't hear a verbalized music ringing contrapuntal thru the dialogue
in "Flowers," do unsolve the secret algorithm of visual spacing and
shaping that manifests as sonic landscaping in "The Big Bozo." Read
Xerolage 34 until the pictures fade or let your eyes cross dazed until
the words all blur, the pictures becoming the square root of their
unrooted presence. It's a trip either way you look at it.
