ARK is amazing. one of my favourite poems.

I see the reference now - I actually bought ARK from the US.
A strange and beautiful work. Somewhere between Zukofsky's 'A',and his '80 Flowers'); a nod to various of the modernist/postmodernist poets/artists; and to (and Milton or Herbert), and - not sure - it's like a kind of magical word music composition like Joyce's "Finnegan's Wake"...

Joyce ("Just read it as if it is a huge poem.") Also ARK -

Science into mystery amd music...

Actually at a strange remove it reminds me also of Alan Sondheim's strange (but much vaster) work - at times... see the link on my Blog...

And he "references" all sorts of things - I just saw an obvious ref to WCW's

And also I think of Michelle
Leggott (as in DIA)
