Arch Llewellyn reviews this book on Amazon.com: "Lyric & Spirit presents a measured, thoughtful, even courtly case for the sophisticated interplay of musicality and form in the woollier manifestations of lyric since the Sixties. The book collects 12 years of essays, and in places the dating shows--apex of the M is still a hot topic, and the musical canon Lazer advances (Monk, Coltrane, Cage) is already pretty canonical. Lazer has a sharp, sympathetic eye for the poetic outliers of his generation, and the attention he brings to the poems he considers exemplify the kind of intent listening and open-minded "habitation" in the fractured, quickened musics of the post-Creeley lyric that the best contemporary work requires.

The exhibition, subtitled "Text and/as Image and/as Design and/as Meaning," was an interdisciplinary exhibition of visual art, artists' books, graphic design, and visual poetry by artists who were examining the ways that texts and images produced meaning in contemporary society, specifically in the United States in the 1990s.

The Sackner Archive lent twenty five works to this exhibition and are acknowledged in the curator's note. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Andrews states that this book is divided into three sections. "The first, POSITION, sets out an overall personal perspective in a sequence of summary statements on poetics, ending with efforts to drive the question of meaning into a trajectory of social embodiment, dialog, & resistance. The second, VERB, offers a parallel record of interviews & symposia responses on a clutch of related themes, with an eye toward recharting the 'socially possible' through language & (more) radical praxis. And the third, BODY, makes a mosaic out of pieces on a variety of postwar English-language poetries & matters up for grabs in reading (& thus personally reconvening & rewriting) them." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
