Dihedrons Gazelle-Dihedrals Zoom

Leslie Scalapino s new book of prose, The Dihedrons Gazelle-Dihedrals Zoom, while a work that stands on its own, is book II as a pair with book I, Floats Horse-floats or Horse-flows (Starcherone, 2010), described by Michael McClure as follows: This is a jewel book that has come out of the spagyric hinterlands of purest imagination, where it has lain for an immeasurable time alongside Burroughs s Cities of the Red Night, Hans Arp s poetry, Monkey s Journey to the West, and Mark Twain s Mysterious Stranger and it blows with the elegance of a horse or a wolf...Virginia Woolf. Lydia Davis commented: Leslie Scalapino s writing reveals how far language and therefore thought itself can go beyond what we are accustomed to, and the forms in which she writes delightfully defy our expectations.
