SPACECRAFT PRESS 067: “ROOT” BY FRANCO CORTESE

root.jpgSpacecraft Press is proud to announce the publication of Franco Cortese’s “Root”. A total of 30 copies were produced, 15 of which are for sale.

“Root” showcases a series of constrained poems in which each word must share an identical “Proto-Indo-European root” (including the words that comprise the title).

The Proto-Indo-European root (or PIE) is a theoretical, linguistic/conceptual framework that attempts to reconstruct the hypothetical common ancestor of the most-spoken family of languages on Earth. PIE attempts to deconstruct the paradoxical nature of origins, heritage, and tradition, seeking to interpret personal, cultural, historical, and identity-focused values as plastic and motile spectra rather than as static absolutes.

“Root” is available for $3.00 including domestic postage (+$1.00 non-Canadian postage).  To order, please contact Ken Hunt at jkchunt@hotmail.com. PayPal is preferred. Money orders in CAN dollars are also accepted.
