This book concerns a character, a linguistically nationless and particular
internationalist poet's language. It's also a prose-poetry sequence in the
form of a primer. Marc Vincenz's An Alphabet of Last Rites is spoken by the
personification of language, while the person consistently addressed, a reader,
a listener, is actually the poet himself. Gradually, this personification goes
completely out of his head with embraced eccentricity, and you are thinking
maybe this is a job for Robert Browning. The reader wins with this alphabet
of short prose poems that are beautiful and funny and weird, all style, yet
generous and tolerant of our faults.
