# Plans for Sentences - Hardcover

by **Renee Gladman** (Author)

These sentences--they--will begin having already been sentences somewhere else, and this will mark their afterlife, and this will be their debut. So begins Renee Gladman's latest interdisciplinary project, _Plans for Sentences_. A tour de force of dizzying brilliance, Gladman's book blurs the distinctions between text and image, recognizing that drawing can be a form of writing, and vice versa: a generative act in which the two practices not only inform each other but propel each other into futures. In this radical way, drawing and writing become part of a limitless loop of energy, unearthing fertile possibilities for the ways we think about poetry. If Gladman ascribes to any particular type of poetics, here in _Plans for Sentences_, we are sure to find that it is robustly grounded in a poetics of infinite language.
