'After all the ruinous decades writing "poems", I have had to invent a form that doesn't sound like poetry at all: the "Metafour". It's crazy, it's nonsense, it's the anti-poem, it's the impure-poem, etc. But it strikes me that it can be "read", dammit, because the the line is strangely fresh. Count it out: four words in every line.' Inscribed by the author in the year of publication.
