guy r. beining
woodrose editions
Waupaca, WI
(c)1980
My introduction to the work of guy r. beining was a postcard printed by The Bellevue Press back in the 1970s. Some research later I found more of his work and sort of dismissed it out of turn (sorry, my bad)
I must have found his mailing address somewhere along the way because I found a letter that he had written me reminding me to send some of his artwork back to him when I was done looking at them (?) The letter was postmarked 2015. I hope I did return the pieces, I have no recollection either way. After rediscovering the letter, I sought a book of his that I might read the type of writing he was producing and found a copy of this book.
Much of the work appears on the page in a fashion similar to e e cummings or a LANGUAGE poet; the spacing on the page is intentional. I like that. The words breathe because they are not clumped together like sardines in a can. Yes!
