Noetic Variations, v1 by David A. Bishop is a groundbreaking exercise in extreme poetic abstraction. It is free to download here: https://t.co/Tl7gCQNIgE

Here's what famed visual poet Dr. John M. Bennett said of NV1: "Noetic Variations uses many of the kinds of things Bishop has done in other books, including visual and collage poetry, text generation, found images and texts in many languages, and other techniques, which he uses to create a new intense and complex literary/visual reality page by page. The book can perhaps be generally understood as analogous to the Voynich manuscript, though a somewhat more literary or language-based one, using letters, single words, and typographic symbols in apparently free combinations with copious footnotes, sources, resources, visuals, illustrations, and diagrams of all kinds. This first volume (n1-n29), of what he proposes as a multi-volume work, is a tour-de-force in the avant literary universe of today."
