Detonated Mirror is a hybrid text of poetry and poetic prose, situated in the otherworldly desert landscape of the Southwest, a place at once feral, magical, elemental and vast, while at the same time ubiquitously enclosed by brutal barbed wire fence. It is the place of aliens, the atom bomb, scorching sunlight and rough, bony terrain -- that is, it is a place where conspiracies, warfare, and the story of humans, animals and the earth collide in exceptional ways.

The poems explore, in a visionary context, the explosive and prismatic slippages on the perceived borders of self, lover, land, animal, and consciousness. Sparse, rhythmic pieces share space with prose poems that explore the narrator's secret body. These, in turn, share space with horror-disorderly-anarchistic poems, which buck at the underside of lyricism and playfulness with unhinged rage and obsessions with the grotesque inner/outer aspects of body and sex/sexuality. Ultimately, the poems are grounded in paradox and sublimity, and the sometimes magical, ultra-sensory quality of encounters across the spectrum of bodies, beings, and landscape.
