Three differing approaches to some exciting and mind-bending wordplay and enrichment of meaning in language. The first section, The Sock Sack by John M. Bennett, consists of innovative “haiku” using multiple meanings, “fake” language, graphic symbolism, syntactic reversals and other devices to create moments of intense and constantly shifting perception. The second consists of a selection of Richard Kostelanetz’ Unfinished Fictions which are minimalist texts suggesting numerous broader narrative possibilities. Each text is accompanied by a “Distillation” by Bennett, which is a discovery of sometimes mysterious, sometimes humorous subtexts hidden within the words of the originals. The last section, Kostelanetz’ More Inserts, explores the innards of words, to reveal the lexicon and concepts hidden in almost every word we use, showing how our language is multi-layered and more meaningful than we ordinarily imagine.

The faces, frames, words, and concepts in this book speak to and of the author's obsessions, history, and lunacy, but they have a resonance from a complex and rich cultural past that enriches them. These visual poems are not Mayan at all, yet they could not have come into being without an experience of Maya culture. Human cultures are never exclusive or “pure”, but consist of dynamic mixings of many sources from many times and places. They are constantly in flux, and these pieces represent the incorporation of aspects of the ancient Maya world into the world we inhabit today. This is just one of the many ways in which the richness of the Maya universe is alive and well, and continuing to evolve.
