Synopsis

June takes up the whirlpooling, epic project of Daniel Brenner's prizewinning The Stupefying Flashbulbs. Narrative emerges despite the "pleasurable obstacles" (as one reviewer called them) of these poems, which, in hallucinatory, luminous, yet spare verbiage trace the obscure appearances of "perfumed people," pioneers all--including one Xi An, a "guardian of paradise"--as they weather a flood, butchery, and "blistering synthesis."

From "Wax"

Palsied pioneers
A radioactive heat
The flood is coming
Time to wrap chemicals
About the whirlpool
With speciousness

Daniel Brenner was born in Pennsylvania, and currently lives and writes in Jersey City, NJ. He went to Bard College.
