    i n t e r o p e r o p t a t a t i v e

    Some time ago, when I was discussing the forerunners of hypertext, I mentioned Robert Grenier's Sentences, a work that consisted of 500 index cards, stacked inside an ingenious box, designed to be read in any order.

    Yesterday I received an e-mail from Whale Cloth Press letting me know that a random-access electronic version of the complete work is available online. Fun little knots of language to mull over.

    Today, browsing the archives of Ron Silliman's poetry weblog, brought to my attention last week by Geegaw, I stumbled upon a number of rather lengthy entries on Grenier, from which I learned about his recent scrawl poems, mysteriously simple line art pieces which strike me as both naive and holy.
