VUTGD is a spiral bound poetry chapbook that could never be mistaken for a cookbook. There is some dirty stuff in here, I enjoyed the editor’s notes, they were quite good. Something about Darwin, but a lot of this writing is self-referring and about the act of writing. Nik Beat writes “sometimes my poetry is a bunch of nothing all painted with anger; at other times it’s heavy and dense like poured concrete weighed down by its own portentous…” I began to ask myself why? Because the way the words were arranged commissions this notion? Beat’s other piece was a nice list of pills, most of which I am familiar with from the mid-90s. A common complaint I have with certain poetry is there is a tendency to incorporate the success of one medium to try to save another. Pop music, no matter how successful, will never make poetry matter. We have to do this on our own. And this happens in a piece by Phil Arima called “Shift and Return”: “march. Vinyl foundation perfects my face/Acid rain pits aluminum siding/The creatures with property dig themselves in/all the virtues and a few select vices/I lie in a puddle.” I also recommend Arima’s “Deionizing Thought,” it’s pretty fucking good. VUTGD also includes a pomo piece by Violet Fodor, which is about sex or lack of sex or sex with inexperienced people and buying batteries. I won’t spoil the climax because you should definitely read it. Sometimes my reviews are a bunch of nothing all painted with anger. But this thing is pretty damn solid. (Nathaniel G. Moore)
