Schism Neuronics presents Jim Redmond's > Get Back to Work

In > Get Back to Work, Jim Redmond reveals that a book written in the simple language of “the company computer” can be startlingly strange and beautiful. Whether this is a dystopian hallucination, a history of aesthetics or a reinvention of the lyric, this book works.

— Johannes Göransson, author of The Sugar Book

“The idea was that the poet could be rehabilitated / put back to work / once the university had to say its goodbyes.” If the children really are our future, > Get Back To Work is the perfect manual for academic “artists” who have lately taken to calling themselves “creators of direct-to-consumer content.” Are there too many poets? Is irony dead? Does award-winning mean accessible? In this age of overly cautious poets, at least Jim Redmond is bold enough to ask such questions. Inventive, outrageous, and darkly funny, > Get Back To Work refashions the fatuous zombie-language of corporate America and holds it up to a reader’s face like a lipstick-stained mirror.

— Paul Cunningham, author of The House of the Tree of Sores
