Poetry. Art. I figured there was time / but for what? ENCORE WITH A RECTANGLE AND PHILOSOPHY is the work of a seasoned duo--a meditation on beginnings and ends and what it's all been all about.

Some parts deepen as the poem goes on; others find themselves deflated the next line down. Winkfield's clean, architectural drawings play variations on Padgett's nimbly shifting tones.
