ANHYDRIDE by John M. Bennett

ANHYDRIDE continues & develops the author's “finest work yet” (Iván Argüelles), of Bennett's groundbreaking book OJIJETE (Luna Bisonte Prods, 2020), in which his myriad approaches to an intense kind of totalizing literature come to a head. This new work also takes steps into a kind of visionary or surrealist writing in which text alone seems to reveal what the blind might see. In English with some Spanish, it includes a large selection of Bennett's visual poems.
