AMERICAN TELEVISION is a radical deconstruction of all that is red, white, and blue. J.I.B. takes the American myth and pulls you behind its curtain to show you the machination of empire and class- crafting a scathing rebuttal of patriotism and the elite. AMERICAN TELEVISION is the doomer manifesto - a guide to new radical thought.
-Damian Rucci, author of Last of the Hard Core
AMERICAN TELEVISION is the rotting abscess in the gleaming teeth of a television cowboy.It is a fever dream of talkshows and live footage of the next war, and the war after that. It praises the ammunition and passes the lord. AMERICAN TELEVISION is an invocation, acurse, invective and praise.Buy American
-Jacob Rakovan author of The Devil's Radio and Ars Memoria
AMERICAN TELEVISION is an urgent, necessary book, an incendiary incantation battering walls of complacency and consumerism, raising vital questions with rhythmic flair. What the poet J.I.B. has done here is impressive. A must-read volume! -John Burroughs, 2022-2023 U.S. Beat Poet Laureate
We were warned that if you sit too close to the TV, it will ruin your vision, and we laughed and laughed. J.I.B.'s book AMERICAN TELEVISION has proven our mothers right, because if you pick this up, you'll be glued, and you'll never see innocence in our cultural programming again. This book takes our jaded introspection and forces us to look past the ugly and into the wasteland that has been our media sphere and our reaction to it for the last half a century. It's easy to say the damage is bad, but it takes J.I.B.'s level of craft to show you the wounds and ask, but what are you doing with the blood; swimming or swallowing?
-Zach Hannah, punk poet of Columbus, Ohio
