The R&D Division of the Halawaukee School for the Exegetical Arts reports a certain "buzz-wave activity" building for the new title from Dead Academics Press, The Valise by Gregory Vincent St. Thomasino.
In The Valise are 21 poems written in couplets with titles at once familiar—Jubilee,Warrens, The Crocodile, Janes—and at the same time curiously new. With accuracy, clarity, and vividness, the language of these poems is at once precise and given to mystery. This is the world writ large—and mixed with the poet’s sensibilities, emotions, and experiences. Things are named, called out, and made new, given to new meaning for the poet and for the reader. These are poems that see all the world as one great narration—poetry as discourse—where the reader is a conscious participant in the breaking out of signification. Where, as Scott Wilkerson writes in his foreword, “knowledge and experience . . . show their metaphysical hand.“
Time for us to open The Valise is approaching. Please direct publicity inquiries to our R&D Liaison:
