I found this book to contain many interesting points about how growing technology is effecting how we eat, see and look.

The layout was interesting. Every two pages or so started a new sub-topic under which a new idea was brought up and discussed which were in the forms of a short essey, all of which were reinforced with references and/or quotations.

Christopher Dewdney incorperated his immence ability to write poetry in smoothly with his essays. This is not to say that he stuck a poem in every paragraph; however, he managed to express his feelings about the subject without sacrificing the integrity of the fact that it IS an essay.

To close I must say that this is a beautifully written book full of interesting information and insites.

The simplest words can yield some of the most beautiful poetry. Dewdney is "the moral wreck/ of a fine intelligence"

The book is fabulous. I learned about it from an interview I watched, on the Canadian band: The Tea Party. If you haven't had a chance to look at it I suggest doing so. You wont regret it.

Dewdney's "Permugenesis" is both an extension and a reworking of the first two sections of his long poem, "A Natural History of Southwestern Ontario." Phrases from the first two books ("Spring Trances in the Control Emerald Night" and "The Cenozoic Asylum") are repeated, though often in mutated form, and get a chance to mate with and breed all sorts of interesting new sentences. Dewdney's prose poems are dreamlike, often hallucinogenic -- one often feels he's speaking his own language. If John Ashbery and Annie Dillard had a child -- well, I'm not sure that he'd write like Dewdney; but I'm pretty sure the two of them would get along.
