Lip Service

Poetry. "Bruce Andrews is a performance artist and poet whose texts are some of the most radical of the Language school...Small linguistic units, idioms, phrases and single words, taken from different, sometimes mutually exclusive registers, especially discourses which are socially sensitive and resonant to contemporary ears, enable the poetry to 'suggest a social undecidability.' LIP SERVICE, the long-awaited long poem sequel to SHUT UP, reminds us to 'accept no discourse except love's'" - Oxford Companion to Twentieth Century Literature in English. Among the titles by Bruce Andrews still available from SPD are I DON'T HAVE ANY PAPER SO SHUT Up and PARADISE AND METHOD.
