Craig Dworkin's Motes imitates a form created by Bob Grenier in A Day at the Beach (Roof) and Sentences. As Grenier says in the "Afterword:" "What’s wrong with our Community of Poets, such that each next 'new one' has to be so studiously / stylistically ('New'), Idiosyncratic…?" Dworkin helps reposition us on the planet near here and over there. The poems are minimal but fully reentrant, that is, reading them again and again does not feel like a repeat.
Craig Dworkin is a poet, critic, editor, and professor of English at the University of Utah. He is the author of several volumes of poetry and scholarly monographs, most recently Helicography, in which he examines questions of scale in relation to Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty. He is founding senior editor of Eclipse, an online archive of 20th-century small-press writing and 21st-century born-digital publications.
