Description
Survivalism for Hedonists is a collection of poetic experiments, using digital randomisation and cut-up techniques to explore how exploding language might move us closer to representing cataclysmic life events - and how we survive them.
Advance Praise
"These poems vibrate with unruly bodies, quiet furies, and queer & trans desires. By using cut-ups from his own notebooks, McNulty-Holmes pillages from a variety of sources and in doing so, shatters the original meaning and reforms it on his own terms. The result is both a tender homage to his own lineage as an artist and a radical vision of a future imbued with hope..."
-Jane Flett, author of Mashnotes
"... lyrically prismatic poems that are tenderhearted, fierce, vulnerable, and exposed - in the reconfiguration, they uncover some core survival tactics for those seeking to "stop / bracing for escape": self-determination, curiosity, attention, and of course, unflinching pleasure."
-Sara Larsen, author of Detonated Mirror
"Reveling in pleasure...even in moments of melancholy, Survivalism for Hedonists is romantic as romantic can be, drawing on radiant colors to produce emotionally tangible scenes in every piece."
-nat raum, author of preparatory school for the end of the world and the abyss is staring back
"Dylan McNulty-Holmes has a great flair for the intimate, the ribald and the immediately arresting. Observant, sensuous and layered, his words reveal an original mind at work."
-Leon Craig, author of Parallel Hells
