Disgust

By emji saint spero

Edited by Michaela Mullin. DISGUST is an epic, fragmented poem born of a week-long performance, a series of escalating constraints that send Emji Saint Spero spiraling into a frenzy and ultimately, a manic break. In this hesitant and hyper-confessional excavation of the quotidian, Saint Spero constructs a manual for maneuvering as a body under duress. Debased, abject, and perfectly problematic, it asks us to dissect the ways in which we are othered and the ways we are complicit in our own objectification. This transcript is an architecture built on lack and inter/dependence. Saint Spero's language stumbles, stutters, interrupts itself, gets it wrong, doesn't know what's being asked of it, is left unfinished, exhausted, and is at its most clairvoyant in its collapse.
