Folding Ruler Star
by
Aaron Kunin
"With alarmed intelligence, FOLDING RULER STAR exposes the violence of an expectant look, synthesizes the organic and robotic then unzips them just as machines unzip / concrete dividers / on the highway.

This went by in a blur. My fault, I guess, but it seemed a little too "subtle emotions of young white men" for my probably garish sensibility. I missed beautiful language, punctuation, fireworks. Towards the end I did notice something pulling together, though, so I think I need to read this again. . . some time.

Interesting--Kunin constrains himself to stanzas of three lines, with five syllables per line. While reading it, I wondered what the effects would have been had he occasionally broken free of this self-imposed restraint.
A great concept that really dissipated (for me) in practice; fell very flat on the page. Much more lively hearing him read from it in person. Either way, "The Sore Throat" is his better work.
moral variety at its finest
I'm loving reading this. Gerund city. I am excited by the syntax and the ideas. Small powerful images like the sharppart of a ruler.
