Hors d’œuvre to her forthcoming full-length, The Romance of Happy Workers, Boyer's Apocalypse sends a zippy rain of frogs and fire on the notion of Culture as an extractive industry, plagued with the same brutes and Romans busy wrecking the commons everywhere else. "When I smell Arthur Daniels Midland/it is as if an oligarchy has dived into the wreck," or "imagine if Anne Frank/were just another educator for Planned Parenthood/parking her big white car." Be hungry, keep calm, stay tuned.
