Twelve Stills from Neosuprematist Webtexts (2008-09, in progress)






Statement: Atropostic

The premise of these neosuprematist webtexts arose by accident: coastal, fortuitous plunge into structure.
From the page’s placidity to the strife of other dimensions: the verse accumulates gravity, suffers remoteness, recession.
The poetic line endures its mereness in that all-context which is the natural and its
contradiction.
The poetic line endures its obsolescence.
Abjectly concrete. Captive of camera alone.
Non-aeolian winds vie with pyrolidin and page to force suppler architectonics, present in time as well as space:
Reader, persist please every which way & repeatedly;
a hoard of these awaits animation, permutations.

Jennifer's new book, From Dame Quickly, is forthcoming from Litmus Press.
