Another South: Experimental Writing in the South (Modern and Contemporary Poetics)

stellar...timeless...local...earthy...universal...alien...raw, yet pristine...every flavor profile is addressed...bring your own condiments to the table...then knock over the table

An exciting and innovative work -- as the title suggests, it reaches, much more so than other anthologies I can think of. A neglected field of avant-garde poetry, including mathematekus, illustrated poems, surrealistic poems, funny poems -- and nothing like one expects from poetry. Of course, this reach does not always result in the best work -- sometimes experimentation is only, after all, experimentation. Still, all in all, very interesting.
