NO BRICKS, NO TEMPLES is a new long-form poem by San Antonio poet BILL SHUTE, assembled from 100% recycled materials. Shute's work is rooted in the post-Projective Verse poetics of Blackburn, Berrigan, and Eigner, but completely his own. The title of one of his spoken-word poetry albums sums up his approach: Junk Sculpture From The New Gilded Age. The poetry echoes his work with such avant-garde musician-composers as Derek Rogers, Marcus Rubio (aka More Eaze) and Alfred 23 Harth, while being steeped in the culture and particulars of the present-day Texas. The 40-page poem is constructed (in the tradition of patchwork exploitation filmmakers such as Al Adamson, Jerry Warren, and Godfrey Ho) from re-purposed phrases and lines from long out-of-print Shute poetry chapbooks such as Envy and Jaywalkers, balancing naturalistic detail and spiritual longing. A career-spanning Selected Poems of Bill Shute will be published by Moloko Print in Germany in 2020.
