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.
This intimate Bacchus edition, designed specifically for Wolfi's poems at 4.15 × 9”, with warm salmon interiors, restrained typography, generous open space and almost no ornament beyond the occasional glyph suits the book perfectly.
