Written mostly in English, with some poems in Spanish, or mixtures of the two languages, Bennett's new book, with its multiple voices and forms, including some visual works, continues to challenge or befuddle the tired, cliché-ridden world of North American poetry with poems like this:
skin skin
soon the shore turd cries re
meantless imbrication of the sh
adow water where your feet
was gone ? impaction ,cloud
,funnel vision of the blut
was left its shroud of flies
its stony maggots where the
beak onnce spspurt ,congoja
conjugada con el horizonTe
na nada es y nádame
el pellejo vacío ,aire
...sous l’horrible peau que flotte...
