notes on 'loop loop endogenous nightscape' by brett gallagher

yes the view are great from inside the sarcophagus

loop loop endogenous nightscape is an e-book forthcoming from radioactive moat on february 1st. it is 20 pages of poetry by brett gallagher and illustrations by elizabeth arnold

subjects include the sea (/ seafoam), forests, black magic, the moon, cabins, and bears


         my breath
         hush hello on glass are
         these nordic colonies


i feel that the subject matter is dark and magical. it reminds me of objects for a fog death by julie doxsee, the man suit by zachary schomburg, or william shatner by c. mcallister williams

the dark and magical feeling is also in elizabeth arnold's illustrations, with colors such as neon green, purple, bright yellow, and teal

the poetry does not include commas or periods except for abbreviations, and there are prose blocks of continued run-ons

flashlight dissassembler you i look these i's alive yarn weather parkas step out tent flaps limbless mountain unwavering cape desolation

words are often repeated multiple times in a row, and there are extra words at the end of sentences. this reminded me of the l=a=n=g=u=a=g=e poet peter seaton and kind of the futurist f.t. marinetti


         sweaty palm hello hi i
         like your cobwebs night
         travel


there are also words combined together and having multiple suffixes. there are sometimes multiple parentheses such as "((((." i feel that brett gallagher is "painting" with words in this e-book. instead of making statements, he creates a feeling by collaging words based on their associations/aesthetics

transient rhombosomes triangular conversate window the city our great city are falling have fallen are will be fallering

brett gallagher also posts facebook statuses with a similar style, and some of the most extreme book reviews. brett gallagher has texted my phone using the phrases "siberian winds" and "north face parka"
