Exploring the intersection of poetry, information theory, and biology, this collection features critical essays, interviews, and reviews by contemporary poet Cole Swensen. It delves into how recent poetic experiments reflect a new generation's poetics, emphasizing language as both an artistic medium and a means of communication.
