Acker and Sarah Kane remind me of each other, if SK is more finely organized than Acker in her sentences and bursts of intricate poetry

"... evil (that is the religious word for wildness )"

In the political and socioeconomical cynicisms of Acker I still see some vein of the characters, when Janey paralleled her father sending her away to NYC to Hester Prynne's husband sending her to America to prepare a way for him I went straight insane. The incest in this and EotS, is heavily metaphorical and political (esp in Empire of the Senseless) but I still see something personal to the characters

This after the Waves, both immediate and commanding in their reach towards sensations
