Klaus Merz, trans. Marc Vincenz Asymptote

"In Dickinson’s fascicles and sets of unbound poems, in which other critics have found interrelated sequences or even narrative arcs, Socarides finds the 'sheet' to be the primary unit of composition, reining in readings to the space of a single page. The 'poems are the paper,' she writes." Gillian Osborne • Boston Review
