"the shut eye bloodshot / yellow to a yolk / intricate / wrinkles all around / the feathered lid." So begins Julien Poirier's dizzying playground of a chapbook, "Absurd Good News." At turns playful and solemn, these poems are as much about the everyday as they are about the cosmic. Like Blake, Poirier sits with what is language, what it can be, a radical embrace of the generative experience of reading. About Poirier, Patrick James Dunagan wrote, "His words are visitors to the reader, accompanied by his cartoon sketched characters who tag along for the ride scattered with frequent delight."  

 

Praise for Absurd Good News

"This fellow human named Poirier weaves his days and nights throughout every page. His words are visitors to the reader, accompanied by his cartoon sketched characters who tag along for the ride scattered with frequent delight." —Patrick James Dunagan, Galatea Resurrects #6

"Julien is constantly undermining the language he uses, though always for the sake of a type of sound only the poem can provide." —Guillermo Parra, Venepoetics
