The Lateral

By Jake Kennedy

Winner of the 2010 Robert Kroetsch Award for Innovative Poetry The Lateral is a highly original and experimental book from a nimble poetic mind. It includes an elegiac found-long-poem that gathers all the "Acker" keyword tags from the Flickr database and reapplies them as words-of-lament for the revolutionary artist-writer Kathy Acker (1947-97), a series of prose-poem-ruminations that contemplate the optimal conditions for the poetry, and a section of poemsthat can only be described as the vulgar, unkempt cousin of Hugh Prather's Notes to Myself.
