Great Dimestore Centennial

This "long" poem of the '80s, long out-of-print, anticipates the information age now upon us. Its theme is the implications for poetic form and human life of the new ways of organizing experience and knowledge afforded by the new technologies. Byrd slyly takes the occasion of the centennial of F.W. Woolworth and the famous "five and dime" store's motley organization of commodities to generate a passionate and fiercely intelligent book length rant about order, form, and meaning, at once curmudgeonly and luminous!Byrd, Don is the author of 'Great Dimestore Centennial' with ISBN 9781581770698 and ISBN 1581770693.
