The Queen's Ball by Copi (Pub. @inpatientpress, tr. @dedreytnien) delivered more hilarious, f*ck*d-up f*gg*try than you'd ever believe could be packed into such a slim volume. BE GAY, DO CRIME! โ Get a copy, thank me later.
I've been obsessing lately over all the poets identified as f@gg0ts (or f@gg0t-adjacent) in the opening chapter of Roberto Bolaรฑo's "Woes of the True Policeman" (tr. Natasha Wimmer). This quote in particular motivated me to pick up a copy of Gimferrer's selected works.
@NYRBpoets@a_nathanwest Thereโs a feeling I get from reading poetry like this where the โsenseโ of words is stretched so far I start to lose my bearings. Mannered concepts like โtasteโ and โcraftโ seem to lose all coherence and whatโs left is this raw sensation of someone digging around deep inside you
@NYRBpoets@a_nathanwest In โShadowsโ, time wields a frozen stylus and a red bazooka while Captain Morgan wears a scapular like a good little Catholic boy. Everything feels on the verge of a resolution when a light turns on at the end of the poem, but the final effect is blinding rather than clarifying.
@MisawaElbow915 If I've read multiple works by an author and they're all very-good-to-mindblowing, that would cause me to classify them as a fav. That would also be the incentive to try to read all their stuff.
