Motes

Poetry. "Craig Dworkin's MOTES is an unexpected delight of sparse poems that glitter, provoke, and beg for completeness. These pieces show Dworkin's impressive range as he travels seamlessly into the reshaping of literary minimalism. Even though many of his conceptual works have echoed minimalist ideals, MOTES shifts into a more distilled frame, where both author and reader slide over a tiny handful of words only to arrive at other ends of the world: 'BRICK / Buick.' Each parcel is as hard and unstable as the gravel under our feet"—Robert Fitterman.
