not the most original poem in itself, but the visual presentation makes this amazing.

A bleakly humourous evocation of the miseries of low self esteem.

this is very painful, but beautifully honest. i love the presentation, and the passages of the label you've left visable. was that by choice, or chance? a little of both?


there are some similar difficulties in my family right now, so i do relate to the sentiment. i wish we could communicate as clealry with the person in quesiton. an insight such as this would be a great help.

Great pamphlet underneath, the cellophane and the "slip" are great too. Nice poem. And just wonderful all in all.

I'll just assume it's because its too fucking obvious and im too fucking rookie, why no one commented on the 'slip'. That's perhaps my favourite thing about this. Because it's not on the same line, there's a gap in speech between the word 'something' and the word 'slip'. And i liked that it slipped in the red tissue paper which had a heart in it. A very girlie and pronounced heart too, which is quite interesting.
I loved the line "And when I call you: lover, it's because I've have forgotten your name."
I can imagine if I made a short film like this, the words in the background would be spoken like a doctor and in low volume and the main words would wrap around in stereo, like wind.

Three red skittles for you my dear.

good god...what can i say...hits way too close home and reminds me of what i purged a while back(Linger, Hedonist. ). But this is brilliant, with the words as naked and blatant as the emotions and state of mind is.
because it reminds me of times I've been too honest for my own comfort.

nice job, WONDERFUL presentation... i think it'd be great if the background from the scanner was the cxolor or DA though.. but still... very awesomer job, that would both look and read sweet hanging in a frame on a wall. nicve job.

realfunfuneral [2002-12-17 22:39:40 +0000 UTC]

Possibly one of my favourites of your poetry pieces, although it is hard to choose. I especially like this one cos of the extra frills in the presentation which definately adds some extra *oomph* to the words. The leaflet underneath was an inspired decision and the style of the lettering is perfect. As for the words themselves I need not comment. They're powerful enough on their own. Tres Bien Mon Amie!

raguel [2002-12-17 20:33:54 +0000 UTC]

Beautiful.

I think the power of the words, the scorn, the emptiness and desolation is really brought to life with the fragile artistry of your presentation.

and that.

a most satisfying piece.

pantopicon [2002-12-14 21:32:26 +0000 UTC]

P.S. I have to add, the play on the notion of "cut throat" -- brilliant.

Sometimes (always?) "interaction" "discourse/intercourse" is, indeed, both a violence, a ruthlessness, towards the self as well as towards the other.

pantopicon [2002-12-14 21:18:00 +0000 UTC]

This is amazing -- both in terms of the content of the piece, as well as in the way you have visually laid it out. Relationships, relations, generally, are, as your piece suggests, in all of its complexity, so essentially "constructed" and pieced together -- part of all those interesting fragmentations of the social as well as the self and the other that comprise our experience.

A wonderful response. Thank you.

wu-wei [2002-12-14 20:58:01 +0000 UTC]

Just for me!? Why thanks!

I really like this piece. As though your words weren't powerful enough on their own, this format brings more substance and weight to your work.

I wonder, though, whether the pamphlet ought to be superimposed over your words instead, in terms of signifying temporal primacy. It's your work, so you know best, but I'm just letting my mind wander here . . .

nonculture [2002-12-14 20:10:21 +0000 UTC]

The pamphlet serves as an excellent subtext here, wow, amazing job. I also like how the words on the surface and the pamphlet both carry weight, but the surface is a little more "playfully" factual - meaning they make a contradiction to the parts revealed from the pamphlet which are more "seriously" factual. I don't think I'm wording what I mean well here, so in short, I really like this.
