poetics of language acquisition, and multiple authorship. It’s both
lyrically intense and structurally adventurous."

The review also occasioned me to explore his site of stalactites. and I stumbled across his "News that Stays Newz, or How I Spent Bad Poetry Day.” His article meanders into his spending time with the hay(na)ku...and I was amused (and gratified) to see him call it "like the tip of an Oulipian 'snowball'"! As Michael is familiar with and has created wonderful works from constraint-based writing, I was cheered to read such -- thank you, Michael Leong! (And click on links, Peeps -- the articles are interesting!)
