Whenthen Gerd Stern

Poetry. Whenever I look for the avant-garde in literature and the arts, I often lament, thinking that I must forge one for myself. Then I regard Gerd Stern sternly and know that he was/is the last of the red hot Dadas of the avant-garde, back when/then he delighted us with his poetry and artistic enterprise and continues to delight us in his WHENTHEN, this delightful collection of poems, which prove his mastery and mystery. Got 'em. Anyone who thinks he/she/it knows poetry should get this book and mind-bend all over again.--John J. Trause
