Buy this book. Marc's language is intensely beautiful, and his style is defiantly unique.

By buying this book, you're supporting 1) a visionary poet 2) the minimal press--a guerilla poetry collective 3) the idea that the distribution monopolies cannot control the spread of good poetry.

Marc says in his fine document, "Art & Machine:95 Theses": #53 "We mucst repossess our prerogatives. Disseminate ART in subways, bars, grocery stores. Sneak books INTO libraries. Sneak books INTO chain book stores. Sneak books into prisons."

Buy this book, photocopy some of the poems, and leave them lying around on busses, in bookstores, in bars for others to find.

Marc has such a passion for poetry and that passion shows in each line he commits to paper or screen. When he isn't writing poetry he is doing his best to promote poetry, helping other to do the same, through his poetry vending machines and his underground guerrilla poetry press.

Telegrams has such hypnotizing intensity such joyous exploration with a dance of meter and metaphor, non-linear Zen like thought tangoing with our reasonable mind's linear thought, then a touch of classic presentation and grace rounds the work out. If you love poetry, if you live in today's "nuthouse" society you must read this book. Leslie Blanchard
