Rave Reviews for Visual Poetry Catalog

December 16th, 2008

The recently published catalog, Visual Poetry in the Avant Writing Collection has received very positive reviews in three key publications: Umbrella, June 2008, says the book is “beautifully printed and designed, [and] belongs to every art as well as literature collection…anywhere”. The book review journal Rain Taxi, Winter 2008-2009, calls it a “stunning catalog” and discusses several aspects of it at some length; and the Small Press Review/Small Magazine Review, Nov-Dec 2008, calls it “a key vispo publication”, discusses it at length and the reviewer concludes that he would “be shocked if any other poetry publication of 2008 is half as important for poetry”.

Edited by John M. Bennett, the catalog is available for $30 at the RBMS Library, or can be seen as a PDF on the RBMS webpage, http://library.osu.edu/sites/rarebooks/, click on “Visual Poetry in the Avant Writing Collection” in the column on the right.
