Heart Stoner Bingo

By Stephanie Gray

Poetry. LGBT Studies. HEART STONER BINGO explores that nebulous and mysterious ground between pop culture, fact, fiction, and desire. Its prose poems riff and sample like a DJ on the flotsam and jetsam of colloquialisms lifted from the newspaper and speculation, a la language poetry. A beat, a sing-song, rap and repetition. Investigating the ground of the unknown and cracks and crevices lurking beneath the reading surface: a former heavy metal fan gets philosophical, a working-class-raised-now-academic reconciles a past it happens in ways un-pedantic or in your face. The quiet moments bubble to the cap of the poems and lead to a real-world, real-time, real-people sophisticated epiphany. An elevation of high and low culture done wrong and rite at the same time."
