P. Inman
"P. Inman radically fractures the conventions of language in order to build everything up again from a more elemental level. In per se, the composers Luigi Nono, Morton Feldman, Hans Lachenmann provide musical structure for his jazz-inflected words in motion. The book lives in the tension between the free, multidirectional movement of words and the highly orgazined macro-structures."--Publisher's website.
