Paperback. Num Pages: 186 pages. BIC Classification: AP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 241 x 190 x 14. Weight in Grams: 454.
-- Talking bridges the stylistic gap between David Antin's early experimental poems and the talk pieces for which he is most well-known. Combining one poem with two improvisations and his first published talk-poem, Talking is a unique book that cannot be classified as solely poetry, fiction or criticism. Infusing the lyricism of poetry with the compelling pull of the spoken voice, this collection is a testament to David Antin's reputation as one of the most influential artists of the contemporary era.
