Riassunto

In a five-chapter, Griffin Poetry Prize-winning book of experimental verse, each chapter uses only one vowel, with the vowel taking on its own personality, in a volume with such lines as "Awkward grammar appalls a craftsman. A Dada bard as daft as Tzara damns stagnant art and scrawls an alpha ..." Original.
