Using these caves as his structure and a lexicon derived from the history of printing, derek beaulieu postulates that, despite the current age's reliance on the printed word, the art of mark-making is utterly cut off from its own ancestry. These are poems that suggest - indelibly, impressively - that how you write affects what you write. |

In with wax, derek beaulieu spurns the sentence and woos the phrase, the image and the language of printing, weaving fragments together to address the question of how publishing and printing affect writing. The result is a series of poems - marvellous hybrids of visual, Language and lyrical poetry - that are sure to impress. |
