Poetry. Like an extra rolled-up dimension associated with a point in spacetime, de Wit's footnotes are also the place where a poetry of statement, of the drive towards explanation, confronts the material density of language -- an encounter more like sex than war, rearranging sense in a parallel order which delights this reader, then does it again -- Peter Manson. The co-existence of the text and footnotes splits the poem along two axes of reading in a way which creates a multi-systemicity and opens up language itself as a medium -- Robert Sheppard.
