John M. Bennett - SPITTING DDREAMS

Blue Lion Books has just published a book by John M. Bennett, SPITTING DDREAMS. SPITTING DDREAMS consists of 2 books written in the late 1970's through early 1980's, "Spitting" and "Ddreams", never before published. "Spitting" includes poems from Bennett's "Spitter" period, and employs various lunatic repetitive and anaphoric techniques. "Ddreams" is very different: a series of minimalist visions, ranging from the bizarre to the mundane, arranged in an over-arching symmetrical pattern. The book includes 2 groups of visual poems from the period.
