DARK HORSEY says-midway between standup comedian's rap, formal lecture & storyteller's fable- these are the vanguard, limit-case works Antin produced in the early 70s, challening definitions of what poetry or literature could be & bowling peop;le over by their interest- one big brain seemingly free-associating about the important issues with fascinating specificity & detail & experience & a lifetime's thought behind it all. The literary equivalent of the maximalist minimalism, the literalism, of say Ruscha meets Robert Smithson. But verbal, verbal. |
