Corresponding Voices, Volume 6
EDITED BY PEDRO CUPERMAN
$10.00 | ISBN 0-9788231-9-2

Corresponding Voices, Vol. 6 integrates a series of poetic discourses that display spoken worlds in process. Words here do not inform: they perform. This is why the value of the information lies in the dynamic nature of words and the way they are linked to each other, not only in the interactions between their different meanings. Likewise, this edition wants to be a poetics of risk and of inclusion: by refusing to reduce it also refuses to attribute one sole meaning to the selected poems presented here.

"A sort of solitary trial every poetic text of any time has to undergo... poetic meaning, by necessity, bears the mark of solitude. And to deal with that necessary solitude, we think, is the ultimate aim of any correspondence."
From Pedro Cuperman's Preface in Corresponding Voices, Vol.1; Page 8
