"A Preface" features the entire poem written as a block of text with each line separated by a slash (/). This block-transcription of the Mallarme-Text was carried out 1969 by Broodthaers. 12 double spreads follow, with immaculately cut out windows standing in for the text. When turning the pages, numerous shadows are being generated by the cutouts.

Summary:
Tricia Middleton’s debut verse-novel brings the artist’s genius for summoning the psychic life of the object world to the page, here trading in the resonant material vocabulary that she has honed to perfection conjuring the wayward spirits of late-stage capitalism in sculptural form, for the equally resplendent wordplay of incisive observational poetry. Ostensibly set in present-day Paris, ''Obsidian situations'' spans centuries, telling a story about the epigenetics of suffering, survival, and redemption in social and cultural form. Alternating between myriad personae—sometimes artist or artwork, poet or amorphous cloud—the anonymous, decidedly female, narrator that serves as our guide to the city of light channels the souls of works of art and ideas, of artists, philosophers, courtesans and, most heartrending of all, des Enfants-Trouvés through incantatory soliloquies that call to account the half-life of Enlightenment ideals propping up the soft and saggy moral economy of the L’age Anthropocentric. As a force of self-definition and a body objectified—and so subject to the same degradation as any and all things—our champion encounters ‘situations’ that are in equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking, horrifying and wretched, breathtakingly beautiful, poignant, and mad. It’s a world of museums and collectors, artists and curators, lovers and mothers, daughters and others, charged with desire and repulsion, longing and rejection, death and devastation that, ironically, can only be transformed in art and in poetry and in dreams.

Serait-ce donc ici un ouvrage de plus qui s'y rapporte ? Non, car il s'agit ici d'un livre d'aventure, écrite et dessinée. Une sorte d'aventure à la Indiana Jones : dans quelle jungle architecturale se retrouve-t-on lorsqu'on traverse au sens propre une bibliothèque. C'est donc une traversée qui comporte des allers, des retours, des dérives et des lieux au-delà de la lecture. Une traversée qui donne un point de vue spatial sur la lecture des livres qui devient ici promenade architecturale d'un nouveau type. L'ouvrage pose également la question de la représentation et de l'outil du dessin comme élément constructeur de l'architecture. Les lectures génèrent des images mentales capables d'influer et d'accompagner les architectes dans la construction d'espaces.

Summary:
In ''Doomed and famous,'' an obituarist opens his archive in celebration of the most marginal and improbable characters, creating a meta-fiction of extinction and obscurity. For many decades Adrian Dannatt tracked and dredged the dead, with a macabre disregard for the etiquette of mortality. His specialty, much in demand among even the most mainstream publications, was to memorialize those whose eccentricity or criminality made them unlikely candidates for the fleeting immortality of a newspaper necrology. Dannatt maintained a veritable lust, perverse certainly, for capturing and celebrating such wayward existences. This book is a selection of some of the best—meaning most improbable—of these miniature biographies.

Summary:
Vladimir Mayakovsky was one of the towering literary figures of pre- and post-revolutionary Russia, speaking as much to the working man (he often employed the rough talk of the streets and revolutionary rhetoric in his poetry) as to other poets (his creative fascination with sound and form, linguistic metamorphosis and variation made him a sort of 'poet's poet', the doyen, if not the envy, of his contemporaries, Pasternak among them). His poetry, influenced by Whitman and Verhaeren and strangely akin to modern rock poetry in its erotic thrust, bluesy complaints and cries of pain, not to mention its sardonic humour, is at once aggressive, mocking and tender, and often fantastic or grotesque. "Pro Eto - That's What" is a long love poem detailing the pain and suffering inflicted on the poet by his lover and her final rejection of him. But as well as being an agonising parable of separation and betrayal, it is also a political work, highly critical of Lenin's reforms of Soviet Socialism.
