In deze engelse editie spreekt G.J. de Rook wederom een zin uit in fotoletters.

Exploring the limitless possibilities of Concrete Poetry, the Low Countries’ very own Concrete Poet Laureate, G.J. de Rook, comes up with a highly idiosyncratic alphabet. Literally, for the first time in history, each letter of the alphabet gets its natural, inimitable pictural expression. At once universal and strictly limited to the person of G.J. de Rook.

Not only that, but this new, never to be erased again alphabet is right away put to poetical use. Which are the words of wisdom that G.J. de Rook conveys to the pages of this beautifully executed booklet? This is for the reader to decipher. And it is also up to the reader to follow G.J. de Rook’s lead, and create his own individual alphabet in the mold of this Alphabet Book. To each his own Alphabet Book. To each his own alphabet. It was the Dutch alphabet G.J. started with, followed now by the English version.
