POEMS • Yvonne Rainer
Badlands Unlimited / 2011
Paperback / 76 pages

"Here a simple, steady cadence provides procedural measure for simple, pared-down words, [plain] yet elegant turns that move the eyes forward, across, and down the page.” --Tim Griffin, "Keep moving: the poems of Yvonne Rainer"

Full of wit and candor, Poems offers a window into the life and mind of one of America’s greatest living artists.
