Review
"If one could cross a 1980 clone of Ludwig Wittgenstein with a science fiction writer and a tv set, something like Anselm Hollo's poems might eventually result: Hollo's sense of language (and particularly of the way people speak) is so brilliant, flashy, and thoroughly contemporary that it looks almost futuristic when set against the measured working out of metaphor in much current poetry...Those seriously interested in contemporary poetry should make acquaintance with his work." -- A.L.A. booklist September 15, 1980
What Anselm Hollo refers to as the 'one continuous poem' of his work thrives on in Finite Continued, a fireworks display of collaged fragments ranging from epigrams to jokes, translations, adaptions, finely lyrical passages, satire, pastiche. Hollo loves the high-speed turn, the magic of the unexpected, the dazzle of ideas....The great pleasure of reading him is to find your mind constantly on its toes as you follow this high-spirited paper chase through a 'one-man slightly batty middle-aged/people's studies department.' Well worth the trip." -- Peter Clothier, Los Angeles Times May 18, 1980

a madness
buildings pavements
lines drawn so fine
sweet madness of centuries
there she was and no one else
only i & she
a strange
an isolate
