Noah Berlatsky's book of found words rivals the greats of cut-up and collage poetry. I am reminded of the great work of machine poetry Minutes to Go by Brion Gysin, William Burroughs and their esteemed colleagues. Every poem is meticulously referenced, every stolen word put in place for a concerned reading to trace back and see the lines of departure.
The skill with which Berlatsky places his hoard is unparalleled and this chapbook shows off that skill with gusto. A meticulous thief, a gentleman poet, he attacks the problems of the modern world with a post-modern bent that sublimates the very idea of poetry. Nothing could be farther from the heart of the matter, but somehow he approaches near to the centre of the affair.
As I read through this short collection, I was pleasantly surprised at how often I found myself forgetting that these poems are nothing more than machine poetry. The human element is strong within them and there is a definite element of the author's hand despite the poems' origins. This is machine poetry for the modern world, but it is also human poetry for a failing mindset. We are doomed to replacement and replication, but why not inject a little poetry into it?
Read on and determine for yourself where the machine ends and the mind of Noah Berlatsky begins. Read on and see what poetic greats this collection puts you in the mind of. Read on and witness the machine age taking its firm footing in the realm of poetry. Read on, read on, read on.
