Poetry. Art. African American Studies. Featuring line-drawings by Stackhouse and poems-as-essays by Keene--handed back and forth and back, written and rewritten, drawn and redrawn--SEISMOSIS penetrates the common ground between writing/literature and drawing/visual art, creating a revisioned landscape where much of the work is abstract or abstracted or both. The multiform agreements the texts & the drawings make, from a brilliant & decisive center, are revolutionary, antilinear, and highly responsive. SEISMOSIS is a formal experience. The result is a highly sophisticated call-and-response affair. A pioneer occasion, in which two African American artists have collaborated on a book of this nature, weaving a cohesive study of abstraction in both poetry and drawing, 1913's printing of the acclaimed collaboration approaches fine-press quality in mass-produced, perfect-bound, book-as-art-object form--in keeping with 1913's mission of integrating the visual and verbal zones.

The problem is that despite the fact the book cribs from a number of art historical sources (Danto, Bois, Libeskind) it comes across as naive about art history and disconnected from contemporary art criticism and theory. That's Keene's prerogative, but it makes the book much less engaging than it might have been.
It's a dialogue, supposedly, with drawings by Christopher Stackhouse, which are unfortunately very typical post-Wols, post-Twombly gestural abstractions. ( )
