Poetry. THE GOSPEL OF REGICIDE takes the Gnostic text The Gospel of Judas as a loose primer in the production of fundamental rupture. The book interrogates the construction of insurrection predicated on a designed/planned treachery. It takes seriously the disconcerting claim that our current political narratives rely on biblical meaning--and fixates on the composition of rupture as poetic fodder. Here, story itself becomes the very place that works against nostalgia, autobiography, the reification of memory in all its forms.
