Rush - What Fukan Theory; A Study UV Language

Poetry. The publication of bill bissett's RUSH: WHAT FUCKAN THEORY; A STUDY UV LANGUAGE in 1972 firmly ushered Canadian poetics into the postmodern era. Out of print for 40 years--and reissued here complete with an interview with bissett about the book's creation and a critical afterword by derek beaulieu and Gregory Betts--RUSH embodies a collagist, multi-conscious approach to art that recognizes no division between the work and the world, the author and his sexuality, his breath, his influences; the theory and the practice. Arguing that "a new line has started," RUSH captures the urgency of a new model of production that resists the closure and mastery of any one mind. It is an elegant rejection of aesthetic ego and all presumptions of authority. RUSH: WHAT FUCKAN THEORY; A STUDY UV LANGUAGE is a vital, vocal protest against business as usual and the exploitation of the individual from one of Canada's most important avant-garde poets.

Über den Autor / die Autorin

bill bissett opened Canadian poetry to postmodernism and from there proceeded in every direction all at once. Since his invention of the blewointment press in 1963, bissett has worked diligently to explode all boundaries of author, text, and context, radically disrupting static and disciplinary modes of art making. Read, taught, studied, and imitated all around the world, he now lives in Toronto, painting and writing somewhere between painting and poetry.
