Poetry. BRICKBRICKBRICK is background reading brought to the forefront. With this new collection, poet Mark Laliberte presents a series of visual meditations on the subject of "poetics." Like much of his recent output, this project hovers around--but never quite steps into--the cultural zone that pure, popular comics inhabit. The hybrid "texts" presented in this volume (slowly developed from 2001-08), appropriate and invade the hand-made illustrative markings of different illustrators or cartoonists, as they draw bricks--usually in the backgrounds of city scenes. Each drawn source is pulled forward and stripped of all signs of their original narrative intent. In a process that is metaphorically connected to the careful manipulation of written words on a page, each work is digitally constructed--brick-by-brick--into new and distinct walls that the reader will likely enjoy hitting up against.
