Poet's Note

Recent works are concerned with ooze and hairballs, the musty pubic frizz off-stage, off-camera, off-(web)page. Clotted viscera are the metaphor and attack on sexy despair and boredom under moneyed shock & awe—the works mean to clutter the white, odourless cells of the page, the dainty hum of clean atmosphere. I am more interested in orchestrating sneak-attack physical affect than in tedious syntactical acrobatics performed in the name of lyrical evasion. I is everywhere just as sex is never private, and all these bits splat from the goop arsenal, whether as dirty concrete, audio fuzz, or plain left-aligned verse. In an anti-theory of hot guts there is no room for the tranquil poem, the measured response, the self-satisfied linguistic innovation of the totalitarian fragment.
