OJIJETE by John M. Bennett

OJIJETE

With Prologues by Luis Bravo, Iván Argüelles, and Juan Ángel Italiano

“I consider OJIJETE Bennett's finest work yet with its graphics, typography, marvelous cacophony/mayhem of language, confusion of music and sound, tonalities and accents in dialects hitherto unimagined! Insanity masked as poetry in its most primordial semi-conscious origins namely the utterance of the sacred vowels and regurgitating them ad infinitum in cosmic misrepresentations.” -Iván Argüelles/ / “Bennett cultivates an experimental poetics which works through intermediality; his iconoclastic attitude places him outside the “what must be done” of the academies and the “what will they say” of the literary cliques. Today at 77 years of age he continues being the “seminal poet” perceived by Richard Kostelanetz decades ago; his production proliferates in a continuum which snakes among multiple languages, through which he moves naturally. His is a vital and subversive poetics, which uses no passport between languages nor is detained at the frontiers of what is already known.” -Luis Bravo“I consider OJIJETE Bennett's finest work yet with its graphics, typography, marvelous cacophony/mayhem of language, confusion of music and sound, tonalities and accents in dialects hitherto unimagined!
