Read on Jacket2 ReissuesWar and Peace 4: Vision and Text is devoted to collaborations between visual works and poetry—and to text itself as vision. Volume #4 of War and Peace includes the collaborative works of Charles Bernstein with Susan Bee, Amy Evans McClure with Michael McClure, Kiki Smith with Leslie Scalapino, Denise Newman with Gigi Janchang, a film on paper by Lyn Hejinian, and Alan Halsey’s visual texts, as well as vision-texts by Jen Scappettone and Brenda Iijima, Simone Fattal’s sculpture, and Petah Coyne’s “Black Cloud.” Judith Goldman interviews Marjorie Welish, Lauren Shufran interviews Jean Boully, and Leslie Scalapino interviews Mei-mei Berssenbrugge. Also included are E. Tracy Grinnell’s homophonic translations of Claude Cahun’s Hélène la rebelle and poems by Fanny Howe, Thom Donovan, and others.
As relation between political-social actions and writing: writing, since it is conceptual, is separate from action but may itself be an action by engaging that gap of separation.
