Dancing Into Oblivion: Poetic Explorations of Dying, Wolfi Mae Landstreicher, Bacchus Editions, 2026.
A new collection of poetry by Wolfi Mae Landstreicher, moving through death, desire, wildness, egoism, flesh, disappearance and oblivion.
Across these poems, Wolfi turns his distinctly egoist anarchist lens toward death and dying. The self is creator, god-beast, lover, outlaw, momentary constellation, sometimes an entire pluriverse, intensely one's own and destined to fly apart. Death passes through forest and ocean, decomposition and desire, chosen endings and immense grief, Dionysian ecstasy and ribald laughter. Gods are slaughtered, civilization crumbles into distant ruins, bodies return to the Earth, and oblivion becomes another movement in the dance.
There is no attempt to make dying respectable here. Wolfi approaches it through the flesh that is living now: hungry, erotic, wounded, laughing, exhausted, self-creating and ultimately disappearing.
At its darkest, the collection enters chosen death without apology or retreat into metaphor. Elsewhere it dances bare-assed toward oblivion, breaks gravity, drowns sermons in the cacophony of hell and leaps laughing into Etna.
Very Limited Edition
Now begins mailing Sept 28, 2026.
Released alongside Fíona Vivienne's How to Bury an Anarchist as the first two books of the new Anarchist Death Project.
