Poetry. Art. "If Derek Fenner were a machine I'd call him the Peculiar Anomalous Singular Main Frame that factors sequences of instructions from every corner of American Avant Culture. But Derek Fenner is not a machine, he is a compassionate human whose work--whose works--as a publisher, artist, teacher, and poet--dive into the crossroad of that which is absurd about America and that which makes it beautiful--its car rust and small town newspapers and street life and television screen faces and generations of stealthy cults of bookish Blakean-Warholian basement dwellers. He drives his work with the fuel of Wallace Berman's precept--art is love is god--what more can a reader ask for?"--Lisa Jarnot.

Fiction. "Here we find, written down, bound in books, displayed to the eyes, intoned to the ears, a noise, a bawling, a buzzing of charades, of tales, of puns, insinu-ations, epistles, sonnets, epigrams, books, prolix documents, violent sweats, lives wasted away with gnashings of teeth to deafen the stars, lamentations resounding in the caverns of hell, woes that stun the souls of the living, sighs to cause the merciful gods to faint, all that for the sake of these eyes, these ears, this blush, this tongue, this tooth, this hair, this dress, this coat, this little shoe, this sun in eclipse, this crazy person, this slut, this stench, this deathbed, this privy, this menstruation, this corpse which, by means of a superficial appearance, a shadow, a phantasm, a dream, a Circe-like charm in the service of procreation, deceives us by taking the form of beauty"--Giordano Bruno.
