Michael Farrell's choices:
πO (or Pi O) - Big Numbers: New and Selected Poems by πO (or Pi O) (Collective Effort Press)
fantastic book by local genius (i.e. melbourne, australia). someone who knows how to sue punctuation for both sound & comic effect. includes greek australian dialogues; concrete poems; number poems .. it might seem a bit expensive at $AUS39.60 but its a fat book full of history, humour and language. theres never been a better time to buy australian poetry - our dollars worth virtually nothing!
Patrick Jones and Peter O'Mara's How To Do Words With Things (Tree-Elbow Publishing) is a post-god, post-genre sandwiching of manifesto and poetry featuring 'freedragging' film stills, conceptual maps, ads-as-vispo, math as emotion.
