Designated Heartbeat (Salt Modern Poets) - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Bruce Andrews is “a performance artist and poet whose texts are some of the most radical of the Language school; his poetry tries to cast doubt on each and every ‘natural’ construction of language” (The Oxford Companion to Twentieth Century Literature in English). Andrews is a founding editor of the legendary journal L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E, which catalyzed the eponymous poetry movement that emerged in the 1970s and ’80s. His many books include Lip Service, Give ’Em Enough Rope, Designated Heartbeat, Ex Why Zee, Tizzy Boost, and I Don’t Have Any Paper So Shut Up (or, Social Romanticism).

Lives in Bed Hallway

Outmoving the, outfrequenting the – Flippers now colloidal. Can’t float in the logic, exhausted escape habits, choked swimming as a phrase. Dapper delegates? Withheld worth’s cowardice, shiver by name. I can’t need form. Geometry farms. Inside is Close. Vectors from inside out delirium yesterday. Terse ask. Specia-lists disappear, techno-mono. Slang up, yeah? Quiet is a critique. Fond as blasts. Craze with nothing not knowing. The blasts are coming off dice on your head. A kind bends around leaving. Two two. Mobile flavor units easing into eternity. Canopy hegemony, pardon the creatures ending. Girls, is this lapidary? Triple vapid, the harmonic misfires are forming a Union. Goose the substance pronto. Charm all vertical. Loving this colorless, metallically dangerous breathe to mark statutory insti-gations. A flake in vacation. Synapse has its own luggage. Slapping pinks slatting hands. Kneels of boss tongue. Latex motion to be aloof. Custody got late-tags indelibly custarded. Hoops zined. A suspicious voluntary. Templated heart ovum. Sulk schottische. Self volunteers for paradigms. Infallible sobs. Silence jilted. Nothing gathers the walls around you. Silver is knickknacked to death. Strength of your shun. Edges this ragged. Geometry it’s gone. The blood’s favorite game show. Equofinality.
