Items related to ICON TACT: Poems 1984 - 2001
Poetry. All the sections of ICON TACT were conceived as book-length single texts or serial poems; some of them were published as such in limited editions either by the author (as The Eternal Network) or by other micro presses. This book reflects a tradition Coleman has followed since Coach House released CORRECTIONS in 1985. ICON TACT represents the end of what Coleman considers to be his 'conventional' poetry cycle, during which only AMERICA reflects his current concerns with Oulipianconstraints and poetry as a kind of word sculpture. LETTER DROP (2000) and MI SING (2005) represent one half of a four book set of which the third (based on Mallarmé's prose) is currently in progress. The fourth book will be concerned with thewriting and the lives of the Troubadours.
