Synopsis

Improvisatory, experimental, intensely collaborative poetry from the literary Otherstream: "Jim Leftwich and billy bob beamer have collaborated to create an evocative apparatus that generates images in the ear and auditory revelations for the eyes. In a frequently disjointed consciousness reflective of the exploding hybrids we all live a grand sweeping music arrives that compels us to reorient outside the delusion of self and adapt to worlds superimposed, alternatively transparent and opaque, full of sudden illumination and flittering shards fading into some nameless space only this poetry can describe. At a time when even the concept of truth seems forever elusive in this liturgy we are offered the opportunity to discover firsthand and immediately what pure unfiltered experience reveals." –Jake Berry "These collaborations are rife with play and experimentation in the proper sense of the word; a musically improvisatory quality tugs, seduces, or whirls us from one poem to the next, not only in terms of techniques and idioms being tried and stretched and mixed, but also by means of textual maneuvers that feel like the kinds of interventions that end up 'hinging' an living collaboration into another textuosonic direction..." –Olchar E. Lindsann
