The Central Reader

Poetry. In this pamphlet-length poem, William Fuller offers a text where language is a wing. Fuller makes perceptible the struggle for the text to co-exist with its human interpreters (both author and reader). We are confronted with a poem which states Land alleges my form / amputated by poetry. In this poem written in memory of Tim McGinnis, Fuller places our mortality at the book's core: Neither flesh nor word, I look back from where I will go. William Fuller lives and works in Chicago, Ill. His previous books include BYT and THE SUGAR BORDERS (both O Books) and AETHER (Gaz).
