Couldn't You? brings together most of John Hall's poems for the
page written since the publication of Else Here in 1999 - and
writing for the page here assumes black ink on white rectangular
paper, but with the permissions that come with poems to engage that
visual space of meaning with different tactics, ranging from the
minimal and laconic forms of 'Gloss' and 'Harder than Ease' to the
loquacious blocks of 'Here and There'. In each case the margins are
part of the poems: the not writing of the margins confronting the
writing with its omissions and limits, with its repetitive silences
or obsessive utterances. What can poems - as poems - know? And is
this the same as asking how many nos are bound up with a poem's
knowing anything? As the poem says, avoidance and repetition.
