Jeffrey Cyphers Wright es un prolífico poeta cuya obra se adentra en lo experimental, ampliando los límites del lenguaje y la forma. Como agudo crítico, colabora en el American Book Review y cura activamente la revista de arte y poesía Live Mag!. Su escritura explora una diversa gama de temas, desde lo cotidiano hasta profundas indagaciones filosóficas, todo ello expresado con una voz distintiva y a menudo provocadora. Es celebrado por sus contribuciones únicas a la poesía contemporánea.
A "poemifesto" referencing the "event works" movement that stresses collaboration, community, and cause-based art, the poem presents a persona who is at once a revolutionary and a dandy. The narrative races from bars to party meetings, making jokes as well as solemn vows. The words are integrated into lavish illustrations drawn and collaged onto antique wallpaper.
In his 19th book of verse, the New Romantic sonnets of Jeffrey Cyphers Wright are accompanied here by his beguiling artworks. His rhino horns and coral reef trombones, his vast vats of sperm-whale sperm and flame-thrower UFOs will grab you by your anathemas and never let go.
