Each overarticulation a micropolemic. Yet overarticulation does not guarantee a richness of meaning, for at its worst it tends to be confused with hollering and aggravation. When maximized for the better, overarticulation highlights the acoustics. Overarticulation milks the language, accenting both the good and bad of disjointed lyricism. Writing-milking operates among the tension between opacity and richness, muddy and melody, density of obscurity and density of meaning, curdled, and potently fresh imaginations.
Rhetoric is anatomy.
Schuster Robert Grenier's 'scrawl' is comparable to Stan Brakhage's films which Brakhage described as poems. Attacking the surface of the film and reflecting on the conditions of film-making is consciousness. Grenier's poems are drawings which are 'drawn' as if from the other side of the paper. As if he writes with his left hand. Another sense of space is created.
