rej ect ame nta by Rhys Trimble

Description

“Rejectamenta hurls language hard, and with a sense of great urgency, against “dendritic tunnels”, the surfaces of urban consumerism, steel trails and wooded landscapes where “YOU is biological”. Taking their point of departure from BS Johnson’s line “the path of civilisation is paved with tins”, these poems are littered with the last objects and screwed-up words of a throw-away world. Although the frayed edges running through a bilingual culture may not offer an escape, their textures, remade through Rhys Trimble’s compelling synthesis of lyric fluency and glitch, create resistance and new energy.” – Zoe Skoulding
