Produktbeschreibung
Pride and patriotism go hand in hand, even when protesting your own government. Interweaving the political and the personal, this collection of poems speaks out on important issues facing the United States today, from gay rights, gun violence, and black lives to technology, the environment, fundamentalist religion, and beyond. kurtis has written a poetic manifesto firmly rooted in our times while keenly keeping an eye on the past, whether in the title poem's evocation of the Queen of Sheba or references to ancient Greece and the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus in "the pillaged edifice." exam(i)nation questions many things about the era we live in but reaches out in an intersectional embrace to tell stories about who we are collectively, filtering our light through a prism that renders a beautiful rainbow.

Select books include INTERSECTION, The Language of History, Angkor Wat, and exam(i)nation, all part of an ongoing series that combines photography, writing, and design. His albums of experimental music include obscure mechanics and electronic quartets. He also makes short films, including the woods are watching and convergence, both documenting his installation art projects of the same names. His studio, bd-studios.com, publishes work both by himself and other artists and writers, and he is the co-founder of New Lit Salon Press. He lives and works in New York City's Greenwich Village.
