MAC CORMACK, Karen. AGAINST WHITE. Surrey: Veer Books, 2013. Second Printing. 294x208mm. Trade Paperback. New. 141pp. Second Printing, with pagination corrected.
Rarely have the unlikeliest materials -- from horoscopes to a shorthand manual -- been reworked into forms as variously suggestive as these. Part 1 extends to the found, visual and concrete; Ricochet ricochets off a central "prism," discovering fresh possibilities in reverse word order. Part 2 begins with juxtaposings of near homonyms and partial anagrams to aphoristic or lyrical effect. To the final TAI PING - a "travel account in scriptio continua" - the diligent reader will be reciprocating these acts of attention, intelligence, taste and wit performed with an open hand.'
