An experiment in hybrid and versatility of voice, these texts stutter around the slipperiness of language and the transience of desire.The first section is an exercise in paradox wherein language as medium breaks free of signification and desire, knowing very well that language is inextricable from desire. The second section concedes that language may be inescapable yet its borders and meanings must and can be moveable, so that through the decomposition of what has been said or written the new may sustain itself on the dregs of the past. The third section is a burlesque reflection on the kaleidoscopic incarnations of Eros as it passes through assorted personalities and neuroses, that is, a chorus of anonymous men, all in various states of confusion about love. Each man is but a different face on the ten-thousand-sided-dice of the same drive wherein gender stereotypes are inflated to show their contours, exposing romantic desire as it is: essential, absurd, random, hideous, and blind.

Easy Peasy assumes nothing, but ass you me severything! Part instruction manual for the comfortably literate, part picture book for the uncommitted spectator, these poems insist upon the simple beautiful error of words and the imaginative potential of miscommunion! If you enjoy spending time outdoors, eating chocolate bars, watching movies, drinking tea with friends, avoiding death, taking baths and understanding the world, then this book most definitely is not for your!

In Generator, poet, musician and performance artist Ian Goodman explores the parameters of bardic cybernetics and robot love. Morphing forms of digital interface with traditional poetic structures, Goodman creates new media out of archaic lyric artifacts. Generator invites us to see the world through the reality-twisted lens of Goodman's eye-pod goggle. The result is a poetics of sensitive observation for the seriously insane. Pretend robots develop fatal crushes on novella-collaborators through lavalife.com, pretend poets seduce potential lovers by imagining poetry out of existence, seagulls suffer from jet-fuel envy, and a comet-girl's sneeze sends "a tsunami/ of dust bunnies towards Mercury." Whether generating interplanetary ballads, cyber chat-room conversation poems or spam-filtered versions of Pale Fire, Goodman's fearless approach to formal experimentation makes the world strange for us again. Ian Goodman is the 21st century's answer to the Martian school of poetry.

Feminist visual poetry that rewrites avant garde poetic history.OO: Typewriter Poems is a book of vispo (visual poetry) glosas (a Spanish poetic form that pays tribute to another poet by incorporating their lines) designed to begin to dismantle the masculinist legacy of avant-garde visual poetics. Avant-garde visual poetics has long been interested in a vanguardism designed to push the genre further using technological advances, and hidden in this vanguardism is a deeply communal, deeply feminist poetics of derivation, homage, and love.OO takes up this communal poetics. The visual poems in this collection merge analog technology (the typewriter) with digital alteration designed to look back, not forward. At once paying homage to the long history of visual poetics and critiquing the progressivist and masculinist ideals that continue to inform the genre, the poems in OO quote uncited lines from visual and concrete poems by some of the major figures of visual poetics (bpNichol, John Riddell, Bob Cobbing) as well as several under-read and understudied female visual poets (Cia Rinne, Mirella Bentivoglio, Paula Claire)."This book is a real gift to vispo, its fans and present and future practitioners."--Helen Hajnoczky, A Teacozy Is a Sometimes"Dani Spinosa's OO pushes buttons, turns keys, and swipes, steals and homages all over poetry... Extravagant, interruptive, declarative and a real kick in the eyeballs."--derek beaulieu

Minimalist poetry for maximalist times.Sheets: Typewriter Works extends the minimalist explorations of Cameron Anstees first collection, Book of Annotations. Prompted by receiving the Olivetti Lettera 30 typewriter that belonged to poet William Hawkins after his death in 2016, the works in this book explore how small poems operate through the freedoms and constraints of the typewriter as both a decaying machine and a mode of composition. Through engagement with writers and artists like Jiri Valoch, Barbara Caruso, Leroy Gorman, Cia Rinne, William Hawkins, Dani Spinosa, Kate Siklosi, and Norman McLaren, Sheets: Typewriter Works re-embeds the minimalist poem in the typewritten page.
