Morning Constitutional
Poetry. Flarf. "As the title of his book suggests, Michael Magee's poetry buzzes with the legislative, polemical, and liberatory static of American political specifically the declarative rhetoric of the founding fathers (from Jefferson and Franklin to Woodward and Bernstein) and its slow refraction into the 'sacred word' of mediaspeak, multicultural cant, and all the cynically mediated chatter that masks the 'historindustry of worlds.' This is social poetry, very serious about its engagement with public discourse, but anarchically ornery in its playful paronomastic splintering...a funked-up powerwalk, an essential dance mix that is not just infectious, but informed" --K. Silem Mohammad.
