Tan Lin’s Landscape of Poetry, Text, and Pictures: A Piece from PERFORMA ’09

Your post undeniably was one of the greatest points of my weekend. I was initially on Msn looking for some thing entirely not related when the name caught my attention. I’m delighted I took the instance to look over your posting!
That saves me. Thanks for being so sesbnlie!
