Painting

California Interest. Art. PAINTING (2.4.97 - 4.21.97) transcribes perceptions of ' real' things, demonstrate how the threedimensional world might be ' registered' in lines running clear across the horizontal, twodimensional page: 81 poems written in 81 consecutive days which mean to enact (i.e., make present) the worldaspainting/ paintingasworld that is my subject, just as Mondrian's grids can be viewed as an ' abstract' enactment of how and what we actually see. Thus, for example, " fact (geometric)/ of lines a bird makes descending from upper left corner to the empty space immediately in front of it."
