He delves into “pataphysics,” the poetics of an imaginary science which renders the English language whimsical and at times nonsensical. He also attempts virtuosic feats with his sound and concrete poetry. Bök’s language welcomes new interpretations and shows that poetry is an ongoing

was like a pain.” This so-called beast that emerged from the forest was Simon, one of the boys who was stranded on the island.
