Land-time is the first principle of holistic art. If the poems in this volume exemplify this principle, the essays explicate it. A reader may choose to move either from exemplification to explication or the other way as the muse dictates. Whatever the route, these words take the reader on a journey through poetic land-time in a critical vehicle breaking an oikic path that leads to aesthetic fulfilment. Happy journey!
NOTE: This online edition of tinai 3 is an unabridged version of the print edition.
