a scan of the gerry gilbert obit --


thanks J

gerry gilbert died on june 19 2009. perhaps one of the most underrated poets in canada. he had is own language and his own rhythm. an important writer in a time when writing has been made unimportant.

a review of T=I=D=Y LANGUAGE by Arnold Skemer in ZYX # 50

T=I=D=Y LANGUAGE, Daniel f. Bradley, Outlands Eight, 2008


Of the uses of language and the ultimate rage thereof. Daniel f. Bradley supplies a swift ride through a landscape of promiscuous growth and bizarre structure with obscene and scatological prose poems, impertinent similes and much disgust for the world around him. From cock sucking penguins to panties falling over peddles, from people happy with shit to play with to a train wreck of epic postmodern blowjobs: “the asshole with a thousand faces shuck inside Memphis again got to the hotel overlooking those towers so exhausted from our handy work pretty much keeled beneath our starched argyle knee socks.” (page.46) “what bodes the spawn of incompatible bedfellows resemble per verse breeding cum costumed mask deacon smack down dis damage dark venom” (p. 52) “don’t want iconoclasts want cuddly mirror urine that wasn’t creepy it was just what you did with all that collected urine from your old girlfriends that was kinda anyway i know or rather lash out” (p.56) “thus stay forever young or improve our complexion this was not mentioned trial order n’ steak’s of human flesh moth on ya bones till none of its left breath pest exhale” (p.74), “imagine if instead of country club jails CEO’s faced public hangings upside down and gutted like pigs(.p84) . Well that should give you an idea.

explain to me how anyone can take huth and his "gosh golly" satori's seriously. fuck what a maroon.
