Wells and Trent wander through ruins of a medical dictionary, digitalia, and collage to create a severe pose as commentary on destruction and decay of the body--and the body as phenomena. Wells, in his introduction, says "with art comes form, and with form come limits." And is not the body limited by the only human surety: death? But, ultimately it is all about creation. I applaud the aesthetic of this collection of riveting images. Another required text for Asemia and Visual Poetry. --Kristine Snodgrass, author of RANK A brilliant exercise in both repetition and symmetry... Wells applies Trent's words to the page over and over in ways that remind the reader/viewer of the different effects that happenin a hall of mirrors. There is always another place to turn and look again from a new perspective. --Amanda Laughtland, publisher of Teeny Tiny Press
