John M. Bennett’s The Gnat’s Window shows the evolution of a new form combining the textual, the oral, the visual, and even the artifactual, as the pieces can be seen as windows, or televisions, or computer screens. The poems can be read left-to-right as traditional texts, or up-and-down, or in-and-out, or in any number of other configurations, and thus have participatory and even performative dimensions within what at first glance seems to be a closed form. They are “dreams’ doubled crust” indeed: shaped and emotional, conceptual and somatic, sparklingly clear, and enigmatic.
