Michael Orr returns with his second book for Timglaset. Evidence of Absence shows no evidence of an absence of creative genius. In this book he has developed and fine-tuned his analog techniques to create a masterful collection of visual poems characterized in Gary Barwin's foreword as "the pataphysical world of charts, blueprints, illustrations" and "tattoos for the polyglottal skin of the page."
 
Andrew Brenza:
"All of the images seem to float in space, materializing inexplicably from the nothing that surrounds them, and going nowhere beautifully. In short, Evidence of Absence is a secular hymn to the wonderful fact of being, to the presence that is both evidence of and evidence against what Wallace Stevens called 'the nothing that is.'"
