Plans For Sentences Av Renee Gladman

<p>"These sentences—they—will begin having already been sentences somewhere else, and this will mark their afterlife, and this will be their debut." So begins Renee Gladman''s latest interdisciplinary project, <em>Plans for Sentences</em>. A tour de force of dizzying brilliance, Gladman''s book blurs the distinctions between text and image, recognizing that drawing can be a form of writing, and vice versa: a generative act in which the two practices not only inform each other but propel each other into futures. In this radical way, drawing and writing become part of a limitless loop of energy, unearthing fertile possibilities for the ways we think about poetry. If Gladman ascribes to any particular type of poetics, here in <em>Plans for Sentences</em>, we are sure to find that it is robustly grounded in a poetics of infinite language.</p>
