Sinopsis

From Lazer&rsquo,s ambitious ten-year Notebook shape-writing project, Evidence of Being Here: Beginning in Havana (N27) challenges the way we read and write poetry and reframes the terms of spiritual autobiography. áThough Lazer&rsquo,s handwritten shape-writing presents itself most obviously and initially as a visual experience &ndash, the shape of thinking itself embodied in the improvisation of each page &ndash, this book is also infused with the overlapping ways in which we both hear and are here. áBeginning with Lazer&rsquo,s fourth trip to Havana (and two noteworthy jazz-poetry concerts with saxophonist Andrew Raffo Dewar), music itself and the music of the shape-written poetry is crucial to this book, just as is an ever-shifting investigation of how we are here: what it means to be in a specific place. áDrawing on Merleau-Ponty&rsquo,s Phenomenology of Perception, Lazer creates immediately accessible and beautifully drawn intervals of consciousness that is a unique contribution to American poetry.á
