A Map by a Dim Lamp

by Ron Starr

Summary

Often dividing his work into the Digital and the Static, Ron Starr experiments in the company of the famous Oulipo group, The Workshop for Potential Literature, in his debut collection. From starting points such as Topography, Horizontal and Vertical Axes, Symbolic Elevations and or other such graphing points he adds his choice of artificial constraints and runs it all headlong into traditional numerology, religious texts, political speeches, algorithms, the overheard and in one case, an impulse to blend haiku and Moby Dick. This is great fun!
