Covering Tracks
By brighteyes
It's been a while and looking back at the stuff I wrote when I was last about, it's pretty awful.
Covering Tracks is hopefully going to be my first collection. It's based on the idea that plagiarism can be a good thing. I have taken phrases from the work of other artists and written poems that hang off them like new clothes. My main influence in this is Ted Berrigan, a fantastic New York based poet who wrote pieces influenced by the collages of Robert Rauschenberg.
Any crit gratefully appreciated. The harsher the better.
