In this inventive collection of poems, McCutcheon engages in sophisticated literary play and deploys the Surrealist practices of juxtaposition, cut-up, and defamiliarization. Moving from eroticism to the macabre and from transformative quotation to the individual idiom, <EM>Shape Your Eyes by Shutting Them</EM> explores intertextuality in poetry by challenging the cultural tradition of seeing quotation as derivative.
