About This Poem

 

“The poem is the third in a cycle of poems, titled Ships of Theseus (recently published as a chapbook by Dikembe Press), which uses the principle of tuplets in dubstep rhythms as a method of selection/composition. My language sources were the ‘highlights of prescribing information’ that accompany various SSRIs, The Physiology of Insect Senses, by V. G. Dethier (1963), and Brain Guy, a 1950s pulp detective novel by Benjamin Appel.”
