Sadly, the book was given little support and was not promoted, and it has long been out of print. However, it remains a cherished item for fans of poetry due to its unique composition, and difficult but rewarding poetics. Forcing the reader to straddle the line between reading and viewing, the book features visual poems that predate the experiments of the Language poets, including words that are exploded into their individual letters, and columns of text that ride the edge of the page. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePraised as a \"FREE souled\" work by Allen Ginsberg, \u003ci\u003eThe Matrix\u003c\/i\u003e feels as fresh and necessary today as when it was first published.
