Survivalism for Hedonists

Survivalism for Hedonists is a collection of poetic experiments, using digital randomization and cut-up techniques to explore how exploding language might move us closer to representing cataclysmic life events—and how we survive them. “… lyrically prismatic poems that are tenderhearted, fierce, vulnerable, and exposed – in the reconfiguration, they uncover some core survival tactics for those seeking to “stop / bracing for escape”: self-determination, curiosity, attention, and of course, unflinching pleasure.” —Sara Larsen, author of Detonated Mirror “Reveling in pleasure…even in moments of melancholy, Survivalism for Hedonists is romantic as romantic can be, drawing on radiant colors to produce emotionally tangible scenes in every piece.” —nat raum, author of preparatory school for the end of the world
