An Alphabet of Last Rites

By Marc Vincenz

"This book concerns a character, a linguistically nationless and particular

internationalist poet's language. It's also a prose-poetry sequence in the

form of a primer. Marc Vincenz's An Alphabet of Last Rites is spoken by the

personification of language, while the person consistently addressed, a reader,

a listener, is actually the poet himself. Gradually, this personification goes

completely out of his head with embraced eccentricity, and you are thinking

maybe this is a job for Robert Browning. The reader wins with this alphabet

of short prose poems that are beautiful and funny and weird, all style, yet

generous and tolerant of our faults."
