Jeffrey Cyphers Wright è un prolifico poeta la cui opera si addentra nello sperimentale, spingendo i confini del linguaggio e della forma. Come acuto critico, collabora con l'American Book Review e cura attivamente la rivista di arti e poesia Live Mag!. La sua scrittura esplora una vasta gamma di temi, dal quotidiano a profonde indagini filosofiche, il tutto reso con una voce distintiva e spesso provocatoria. È celebrato per i suoi contributi unici alla poesia contemporanea.
A "poemifesto" referencing the "event works" movement that stresses collaboration, community, and cause-based art, the poem presents a persona who is at once a revolutionary and a dandy. The narrative races from bars to party meetings, making jokes as well as solemn vows. The words are integrated into lavish illustrations drawn and collaged onto antique wallpaper.
In his 19th book of verse, the New Romantic sonnets of Jeffrey Cyphers Wright are accompanied here by his beguiling artworks. His rhino horns and coral reef trombones, his vast vats of sperm-whale sperm and flame-thrower UFOs will grab you by your anathemas and never let go.
