Spontaneous, immediate, loving, poignant, illuminating… Written Matter may be a first book of poetry—but it seems more than that: it’s an original quest into impression and suggestion, with words on one side of the page, then handwritten versions and photos on the other, creating a Blakean harmony of lyric and image. Andrew McLuhan writes with a rare trust in the touch of his hand to the page, in his eye for patterns in trees and branches, in wood-beam house junctures and door-locks, what promises crossroads and openings. His pen is his antenna, his page is his sky, his images his field of associations, his combinations his alchemy.
