Kevin StebnerInherent is a collection of concrete poems that uses familiar poetic tools to reduce words and letters and characters to their structural components, celebrating the s hapes we're used to taking for granted. Produced by physically scraping each letter onto the page - via Letraset tangible transference and with irrevocable choice - this is a poetry of format that plays with aspects of form and design to demonstrate each typeface's individual poetic stance.Sitting somewhere between Hanjorg Mayer's Futura and Johanna Drucker's concrete poetics, with a hint of punk DIY zine culture and a heavy study of typographic graphic design, Inherent moves with palindromic rotational symmetry, arrays of potential landscapes, and alien languages wherethe Roman alphabet goes supernova into brilliant new forms.
