Bøger af Clint Burnham

Part travelogue, part autofiction, part record of living under Western regimes that torture, kidnap, and murder its own citizens and those who wish to cross its borders, WHITE LIE is a collection of super-short fictions. Written to be read in a book, but written on a phone, about that technology, about how our stories today blend into factual-seeming fictions and lying propaganda. Repressed memories of living in repressive societies. Like Tierra Whack's album of one-minute rap songs or Stan Douglas' Monodramas. Shorter than a stand-up comic's joke and longer than a criminal tyrannical president's tweet. A museum room full of paintings you zoom thru in thirty seconds or Thirty Two Short Films about Glenn Gould.Clint Burnham's WHITE LIE is a series of quick bursts--'hilarious, tragic, and thoughtful in turn. You won't forget these paragraph-length stories because you will read them again and again.'Fiction.

A thought-provoking history of the internationally renowned language poetry group the Kootenay School of Writing.

Poems reflect on connections between Ezra Pound, imprisoned at Pisa after World War II, and military prisoners at Guantánamo Bay.

The original Vancouver Subhumans meet Wyndham Lewis in a back alley, beat the hell out of him, take all of his money, use it to buy drugs and booze, then sit down in a seedy Gastown bar and begin to write poetry based on the contents of Lewis's briefcase. The results might be something like Buddyland.
