Overview
"Twenty Volume Deathtape is a collection of poetry and experimental prose concerning the alienation, paranoia, and loss inherent under contemporary techno-capitalism. In the face of the looming climate disaster and mass extinction events, this collection grasps at the possibility of new modes of symbolic association via contemporary philosophies, psyc hoanalytic theories, technologies, and the great wealth of information concerning both recent history and deep cosmic timescales. Perhaps this new mode - in combination with open form and projective verse - can generate antimonies, forms of healing, reconciliation, or at least, imagine a version of the world in which justice might exist." -- Abstract
