Nonstop Pop

by Becca Klaver

Nonstop Pop is the third chapbook in the 2012-2013 series from Bloof Books; released as a PDF in December 2013.

Klaver samples movie dialogue, invents new lyrics for her favorite band, recalls a blog post by Eileen Myles, rewrites the dictionary a few times, plays Slip 'N Slide with America, cheekily appropriates testimonials for a popular self-help book, and expresses a few feelings by way of their equivalent band names for maximal market penetration in these 22 pop-influenced poems.
