Jacket, as Reader knows, has lots going for it. it enjoys the neatest design possible, especially if you, like me, aren't the biggest fan of reading off the screen. it is full of the modern and post-modern names that make poetry interesting. quite a stunning repository for Kent Johnsonish things, most lately a travelogue of a Bolivian tour with Forrest Gander, in the footsteps of Jaime Saenez. also a piece on Rakosi and Stevens, hey I have the collected poems of both those dudes. Kent Johnson will soon be appearing in a comments field near you. if he makes you nervous, perhaps you're up to something.
