Sonosyntactics: Selected and New Poetry of Paul Dutton introduces the reader to over 45 years of Paul Dutton's diverse and inventive poetry, ranging from lyrics, prose poems, and visual work to performance texts and scores. Dutton is a surprising, witty, sensitive, and innovative explorer of language and of the human, and Sonosyntactics gathers a representative selection of his most significant and characteristic poetry together with a generous selection of uncollected new work. Best known for his acclaimed solo sound performances and his contributions to the iconic sound poetry group the Four Horseman, Sonosyntactics is an overview of Paul Dutton's inspiring written work, which demonstrates his willingness to (re)invent and stretch language and to listen for new possibilities while at the same time engaging with his perennial concerns of love, sex, music, time, thought, humour, the materiality of language, and of poetry itself. Editor Gary Barwin's introduction outlines the major subjects and techniques of Dutton's poetry: an intricate weaving of thought and language, sound and emotion, sound and sense, and the unfolding of a text through the "logic" of language play such as puns, paradoxes, ambiguity, and sound relations. Dutton's afterword wittily and insightfully completes the volume.
