Gregory Betts
Poetry. "Greg Betts is writing anagrams. Is his project zany? You bet it is"- Christian Bok. Containing 56 paragraph-long perfect anagrams of an original seed-text, Gregory Betts' IF LANGUAGE takes a one-time parlor game to its evolutionary extreme. Each poem is exactly 525 letters. The book asks: what are the limits of individuality within a closed system? Betts explores this question with humor, intellect, and with a manic obsession capable of turning a simple game into this wildly original exploration. "If language is an economy, then Gregory Betts' IF LANGUAGE skips the boom and the bust and revels in the echo" - Derek Beaulieu.
