Down and Out in Gulfport and Biloxi (Kendra Steiner Editions)

By Bill Shute

DOWN AND OUT IN GULFPORT AND BILOXI collects three six-page open-field poems by San Antonio poet BILL SHUTE, composed in Summer 2015: Down and Out In Gulfport and Biloxi, Thirty Seconds Over Pensacola, and Panama City Blues. Shute's work is rooted in the post-Projective Verse poetics of Blackburn, Berrigan, and Eigner, but completely his own. The title of one of his spoken-word poetry albums sums up his approach: Junk Sculpture From The New Gilded Age. The poetry echoes his work with such avant-garde musician-composers as Derek Rogers, Marcus Rubio (aka More Eaze) and Alfred 23 Harth, while being steeped in the culture and particulars of the Deep South Gulf Coast, where the poems were composed. Cover painting by Alfred 23 Harth.
