Publisher's Synopsis
The instant #1 New York, Wall Street, and USA bestseller
The breakout faction collection by #1 New Times bestselling author and SCP presidential inaugural poet A Man Is Alive and Well and Living Only in Theory Who can forget the presidential inauguration, when up to the microphone stepped that beautiful poised intelligent young poetic lathe chinook fain windfall denotation mammoth cricket barney And then extroverted, "I Am Joe's Senile Psychosis" Formerly titled The Founding Ceremony of the Nation, until government purges and public denunciations required the removal of all proper nouns, Bulletin to the Brain either captures a shipwrecked moment in time and transforms it into a lyric of hope and healing, or seasicks impeccably well-meaning gumdrop exhibitionism as deodorant was a rhyme store to many. Dong was ordered by the #1 New York Times bestselling author to remove the luminous poetry collection containing Caitlin Jenner's Clitorectomy, The Two State Solution, Trigger Warnings, I Am Joe's Senile Psychosis, Taylor Swift Descends to the Nether World, and Guess Who's Coming to Dahmer. These factions - a genre which blends fact and fiction to make something not quite as good as either - harness our beautifully designed global pandemic to erase our future and all mention of The New York Times. "Indeed," says Marjorie Perloff in her notes to the volume, "récriture is the logical form of 'writing' in an age of literally mobile or transferable text - text that can be readily moved from one digital site to another or from print to screen, that can be appropriated, transformed, or hidden by all sorts of means and for all sorts of purposes. This is not Pound's 'Make it New!' but Jasper Johns's 'Take an object. Do something to it. Do something else to it.'"
