Perhaps these poems were written for the brains of fleas, at least not the mind / brain opposition which lies at the basis of Cartesian theology. An insect world of insect works? Kafka would have relished this thought among the Hapsburg decomposition that gave birth to both himself and Freud. The lyric of rot might also work in places-a little too Bataille perhaps, and then again the deformation of signs is itself a master sign of Modernism. That said, domestic discourse networks emerge from pertinent, ambient technologies: ink and stylus, the first after petroglyphs, then that portable printing press the typewriter and the duplication machine, both ripe for creative misuse. The general title provides the French connection Revanches: revenge but in another related sense a recovery or retrieval, watkuweis in the Nez Perce language: a retrieval from being lost. The majority, if not all, texts in this book are previously unpublished and are retrieved from file folders in an archive.

A collection of visual poems, i.e., written, drawn, collaged, and taken from found materials. Poems composed from the 1960's on, most of them published in literary periodicals, modified and organized under the title Identities to connote and denote the implications of the title word.

This is probably the only writing we've seen by Bern Porter. An alphabet book which in 40-some pages sums up the world vision of the disinherited. Bern is the Director of the Institute for Advanced Thinking in Belfast, Maine.
