The Inconundrum Press is pleased to present _4X1_, featuring works by
Rainer Maria Rilke, Tristan Tzara, Jean-Pierre Duprey, and Habib
Tengour collected here for the first time in english. Noted editor
and translator Pierre Joris (_Poems for the Millennium_ and Paul
Celan, most notably) brings together four seemingly disparate authors
forming a book of poems, prose-poems, semi-autobiographical prose, and
poetic narratives. _4X1_ is as puzzling as it is compelling; locating
its common ground with a single translator and functioning as a image
of the development and diversity of twentieth century poetics.


"The translations here form a kind of hieroglyph of 20th-century
modernism, a signal of dynamic forces drawing from diverse threads of
tradition and cultural interrogation...this unique gathering
contributes to what the vast field of contemporary poetics has become:
a complex occasion of forces."
-Rain Taxi Review of Books
(Summer 2003)

other endeavors including the 2003 Melville Novella Contest.

Hope to hear from you.
