Summary
Let’s explore the contentious literary world of postmodernist poetry. Shall we? The Sentient Flock, In Simpler and Sexier Times is a single poem in 26 sections; each section is a single sentence. It was created using ad hoc semi-collage techniques, picking up words and phrases from John Ashbery, home decorating magazines, philosophical tomes, black metal songs, fundraising pleas, or whatever thoughts drifted across my brainpan. https://bainbridgeisland.press/products/the-sentient-flock-in-simpler-and-sexier-times Get full access to Bainbridge Island Press at bainbridgeislandpress.substack.com/subscribe
