"In House At Out, Mark Goodwin steps beyond the physical landscapes of Back of A Vast, into a new topography: a world that is a "wild's inf i nite b its" approached through the gaps and hollows in the word. The holes are apertures as we zoom into language, crack open word hordes and find worlds of association, "hole keys" with which we open kinetic lands as nimble as "music thinking of water". Here are poems that "house and home // and hone a mind of sky-leaf sheets." Step out with this book and relish the trip elsewhere." -Simon Perril
