Reading instruction meets New York School Poetry

This book is likely to end up in University Libraries next to books on "how to teach Johnny to read," but it is a highly eclectic and imaginative primer on creative reading, influenced by Padgett's New York school poetry pals and French movements like Oulipo. This book is aimed, in the first instance, at teachers, but I think it makes enjoyable reading for just about anyone interested in "creative reading."
