Review
“Unlike most text-based works, I find it interesting that assemblages of concrete and visual poetries are automatically, it would seem, international in scope, perhaps for the ease in which visual works can cross borders, cultures and even language. [. . .] this series opens with an impressive volume of stellar work and exquisite design”
