Description

Book Synopsis
By tracing the impulses of punk rock, trash film, and camp through poetry, Drew Gardner sheds light on a literary tendency that has been part of poetry’s DNA all along: uncovering the poetic values hidden in unpoetic things.

Trade Review
More indispensable than Wilson the Volleyball in Tom Hanks's Castaway, no desert island should be without a copy of this uniquely ingenious and wildly pleasurable tome of treasures. This anthology charts a new history and a new way forward for experimental poetics."--Paul Stephens, author of absence of clutter: minimal writing as art and literature

"An antidote, a strident reply, a raspberry even to all those who talk about poetry as a genre of comfort, as a solace, as a High Art with no room for absurdity, anger, and insult. Also a rollicking fun read."--Juliana Spahr, author of Well Then There Now
