"Ganick registers in their course the semiotic pulses of language--its
rhythms and teeming vocabularies--its isness, its thisness and itness, this
continuous unforming and forming of itself, spooling out across the verses.
It forms *here* by virtue of a linked idea or analogous theme; *there* through
correspondence of sound; again by ingesting the flotsam of brand-names and
truisms littering the landscape, for the nth time--unexpectedly--through
spans or lacunae of logic. We can imagine Thought staring through various
planes of language like planes of glass, turning them with and against each
other, rotating their intersecting transparencies, a cognitive kaleidoscope
dancing with the light that passes through it in its motion."
-- Olchar Lindsann
