Although the name of this Santa Cruz-based poet has been associated with the elusive literary "movement"
known as flarf
-- defined by another of its practitioners,
Michael Magee,
as "a studied blend of the offensive,
the sentimental, and the infantile" -- it would be more to the point simply to say that
K. Silem Mohammad
has discovered the results of
Google searches to be a diviner's rod pointing
toward the collective brain of America. The results are on display in his book
Deer Head Nation
(Tougher Disguises Press, 2003)
as well as in Breathalyzer, the work in progress from which this week's poem is taken. |
