Richard Kostelanetz’s ‘More Fulcra Poems,’ the literal
word becomes, visible meaning. Single letters jut through
the word form, lending to even more meaning. Meaning takes
on a size and relationship. The relationship of two laid out
on whitespace, layers layered, turning the single word into
memory or recognition:

yours

usually

Kostelanetz, his minimal approach to complex situations,
political or otherwise, allows the reader the freedom of
being influenced:

smartest

shortest

these are perfect poems the reader can sit or walk around with.
participate; perceptions of meaning, I mean, the poems create
an environment; the environment is yours to build from:

start

tart
