MOVABLE TYYPE is the first new collection by Kathleen Fraser in seven years. This inventive new book showcases poems from four recent collaborative artist books that exhibit "\;her longtime love of words as objects into play"\; (The New York Times). These new poems\, many created through her unique collage and hand paste-up techniques\, continue Fraser's ambitious exploration of the boundaries of language and the limits of the page.

The author of twenty books of poetry\, she exhibits and performs widely in Europe\, Latin America\, and the United States.

She calls this impermanent\, participatory work "\;lo precario"\; (the precarious)\, transformative acts or "\;metaphors in space"\; which bridge the gap between art and life\, the ancestral and the avant-garde. Her film/poem Kon Kon Pi was included in the ON LINE exhibition at MoMA in 2010. Soy Yos\: Antología\, l966- 2006 was published by Lom Ediciones\, Chile in 2011.
