The Glitch Poetics of Jeff Bagato

 

dole plot
 
     clasp any grab bag
 
         settle in
    it wages max flit
 
           presage arg.
 
   tolent       matte       flap-
                doodle
 
      pret a porter
 
            paddle up a
                  creek
        the wrong way
 
and the flay max
               again
 
        same way
    it meets
              the middle

a magical mystery
     menacing mag lev
 
  rip chain
 
ages of man
        aren’t that long
 
battle to the sitz
 
      wasp wash
 
  wiggle way
 
agreed
       to greet
           greed
   on its own terms
 
placement of toon
 
a day in the mines
 
 
Arriba malfunction
        weighty tiff
 
class pinochle
 
      rubber dinghy
  gone flat
            in the middle
 
  puss
    pass
      piss
        pus
          posh
 
there in a minute
 
     a leap of agree
 
grease the spiel
 
    the spindle
            is too
 
 
regular quill
              nib talent
 
    this marks the spot
 
renewal revolution
          by standard
               parkers
 
      elevate the elephant
           a balloon
      dirigible dreams on
                                high
 
air
  this
     out
 
abject interrogative
       one more question
           for the history
    of clans
          (stands)
 
tapes run to magnetic
             dust
       pages run too
 
 
scrap grind hotel for markers
       a leak, slow
    reaps its rewards,
           the assault
       the edifice thru a
                  weak spot
       low down
 
   mandibles lick
           whittle most stuff
      not worth a penny
 
        leave it behind
               you leave
           it behind
 
    behind where
          old treasures
       lie dead
 
games get there faster
 
    most are just swell
 
& everybody’s fine
 
taps patent faite entre
 
      un agent de son
 
tell client
     make max
   widge authorized
                   equivalent
 
manifested and see
 
     what limits can do
 
              for you
 
trail teller and reader
      pick up
           tells to make clear
 
     a guest against
 
         areas of more
 
 
wailing watcher weight
            spine spinner
      clan towel
                  wash exactly
 
     wish expertly
 
            a strategy
         of dawn
                   a plan
                for future
           invisible
                    excisions
 
a jillion keeps
       a man
            in fettle
 
   farce in fruit
 
   force in front
 
   fence farther
 
to borders of deed
 
game life atoll
 
   wandering wish kit
 
tell me more
 
        delay clash
 
   flight response, movie
               hex value
 
  trading, tell me
             as far as it goes
       to the season
               to the bank
   banking score bonus
 
   points for tools
 
       tools for living
 
 
change delinquent
          flick forever
                 and a day
   not wrong anymore
 
        not reject
 
made in image
       maiden again
    a flame burning backward
 
      inside out fire
    cold keeping
            within it
         all that glitters
                glows
  shines a light
         into darkness
     remaining dark
 
replaced for everything
        everything placed
            against
                  everything
       or else
 
anti-rule characterized
                as waste
 
       leave off
              opposite
 
        draining a wound into
                  rivers where
   better water was
               found
 
       daylight tenant
             intended additional
         piece of benefit
 
         as a fiction
 
            risk & contrary
 
       a liability

Adeena Karasick, sections from Flux Me Fast and Slow

Flux Me Fast and Slow, p.1

 Flux Me Fast and Slow, p.2

 Flux Me Fast and Slow, p.3

 Flux Me Fast and Slow, p.8

 Flux Me Fast and Slow, p.9

These images are from “Flux Me Fast and Slow.” Inspired by James Joyce’s, 1906 amorous letters to Nora Barnacle, the text is an ironically playful, permissive, philo – political – socio – gendered – lingua – erotic celebratory intervention of love, laughter, comedy and cunning. S’creaming within a liminal space between langue, longing, translation, citation, sophistry and desire; it enacts how love, like translation itself, (which both cancels and preserves), vibrates through the fecund limits of visceral polysemia, and explodes in a redux flux of radical excess, nullifying the alterity of the other in its wild embrace. Mirroring the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet it’s 22 sections also speaks to the semio/erogenous connection between physical bodies and the bodies of the letters, the holy union of  Tifereth and Shekinah, (the revealed and the concealed), upper and lower worlds -- fusing the eros of meaning-making with the continual re-creation of the world.

Michael Mc Aloran, excerpts from ‘the elsewhere none’

 

‘untitled painting no.3’/ 2023/ acrylic on paper
Michael Mc Aloran

excerpts from ‘the elsewhere none’
 
 
1.
of the locked fist/ of the bloodied shards
toothen to the
extinction of an exposed trace
of cardiac sense disheveled
a churn/
                 (-ing)
a knock till breakage of scar weight a distance of light
in eye exposed to a throat-grip dark
a tuning fork excursion turn of in a coil of extent
breakage what colours
nothing as of which till rot of the ongoing of as if to close
the woundage of discolour/
                                                (-ed)/
sung aloft as the secretion of night skins the surface to the
bereft of
echo-taint of the what once was
till close of bone hours a dressage
a breathless long spoken of
silence/
             (-d)
all the while/
 
 
2.
 
till turn of grafted meat to the exclusion of subtle butchery
        scar upon scar’s redundant shimmer
breakage bone bloodless
                    in the marrow of light cast
upon the scattered blood-soaked rags trace of little distance
through winds that do not follow
        it-burn
the shit in the clogged none bled
burnt of the which in specious colours
               a kaleidoscopic
emptily
stone wind whiten
(-ed)
                        a recollect/
 
 
3.
 
burns as if what nothing of the exit-sign unto where neither close
                    (burn till laughter of extol)
turns of the blood-light wreckage
a compressed burnt shadow-it-lapse-absenteeism
 
nothing of the once
      as obsolete
an extension of nothing left
          (to be)/
 
 
4.
 
the seed of it till sharded light to the edge of pulse
    a drapery of absent meat
a flayed excursion where to of in the rip of sacred piss-reek an abort
 
cascade of
    (all what lapse)
taken as before to the edge of tidal echoing into from
        the out of reach
 
eye that stagnant of in the reek
      beyond which no in the given of
neither of the commence
 
strip the meat of it
the next to follow onward
breathe till of it it were murmured
 
colours of
            the dawn
a nothing
an avaricious abdicate/
 
 
5.
 
dead of eye in the spec/i/al knowledge of lack
coloured collision a
 
breakage of light into from out of
     given
 
nothing known no further stretch of which beyond to reach for effigy
the barren burning alleyways
 
          scattered skins a-dream
all what known that cannot in the realm of the pissoir dreaming
 
one turn till turn what obsolete
walls neither of
 
cylindrical excessive
a skull a distance hearth in which the garotted flesh still spit light
 
in colours long-breathless eye
spits like blood
 
                    (cold terse…)
 
 
6.
 
echo-taint of a skyline pock-marked with incisor traces
surface peel of dissent till
                                   rip of blood
cold as barren lightscape
    a reek of heavenly smoke & the furnace of desire
 
 
kiln of absent laughter
body burn weight
burns away the film of eye to the edge of
percept/
      dimension tone
 
 
7.
 
all what sound of the weight of null a turn of closure neither of the cold dark weight
(sickly unto reclaim)
      night long nothing as the traces furtive to expel
 
 
rot of emblem
discarded light
un-
    shadowed
 
 
8.
 
turn exposure of the realm till drift of eye into
            of the fathom null
                            coil lapse of exertion
split of stone the exposed eye coiled in a rip of scream
 
fingers that dissipate unto
cold weight
 
amber
      distances
