Among them is the book-length concrete poem \u003ci\u003eSweethearts\u003c\/i\u003e, first published by Something Else Press (where Williams was editor in chief) in 1968, and back in print for the first time, still sporting its classic cover by Marcel Duchamp. \u003ci\u003eSweethearts\u003c\/i\u003e is an anagrammatic erotic encounter between a \"he\" and a \"she,\" whose entire vocabulary is derived from the word \"sweethearts.\" The letters maintain the same spacing in every word on each page, lending the volume a flipbook dimension that Williams enhances by organizing the text to read backwards, so that the reader can flip the book with her or his left hand (thus the front cover is on the back, and vice versa). Richard Hamilton described \u003ci\u003eSweethearts\u003c\/i\u003e as being \"to concrete poetry as \u003ci\u003eWuthering Heights\u003c\/i\u003e is to the English novel... compelling in its emotional scope, readable, a sweetly heartfelt, jokey, crying, laughing, tender expression of love.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 226\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 6.3 x 4.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 31, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47351775396089,"sku":"9783865608109","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/WldNei84Zkh0MUx6R3pDRTFOUGo0UT09_1153215c-1536-42ba-b34b-d1c8257fda56.webp?v=1769800986","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/sweethearts-paperback-2","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
