false 6226606 1 In Eric Baus' Tuned Droves, I find, along with elongated lyric, a knowing innocence, a nasty nicety of eye.

In these silent-movie flashes, the poet confounds the distinction between soundlessness and the sound of imagination. Welcome to the haunted house of Eric Baus. --Andrew Joron "In TUNED DROVES, there's a figure who discovers 'human or animal bones in the REM movements of babies.' As if that isn't fabulous enough, there's writing that's both prehensile and irreversible: a dismantled mouth that's capable of both a 'normal hello' and the subtly grotesque 'language of flags.' In this way, Eric Baus writes at the dark edge of an imaginary nation, collapsing us, with each climbing page, into an oral, incendiary architecture. As a poet, then, he's the flame-thrower, he's the one who says: catch" --Bhanu Kapil. 6409188 1 3 2009 Tuned Droves total:43|5:31|4:6|3:6|2:0|1:0| 43 197 74 7 5 0 false false Sun May 24 16:03:25 -0700 2009 Sun May 24 16:04:03 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Tue Jun 02 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri May 22 07:38:18 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 02 06:23:21 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Feb 10 07:57:01 -0800 2009 Wed Apr 29 08:44:05 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Apr 23 06:10:51 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 23 06:13:11 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sun Sep 27 20:38:07 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 20:38:18 -0700 2009 I've created a (Soma)tic Reading Enhancement for it, which you can see at the ATTENTION SPAN 2009 List here: http://thirdfactory.wordpress.com/2009/0...
