Wrote Your Name in the Dirt: Brutalist Poetry #3

By Fletch Fletcher

Wrote Your Name in the Dirt is #3 in the Brutalist Poetry series published by Red-Raw. #1 - If You Drop Dead #2 - We Weren't Invited Brutalism is often called ugly and bleak, but it has a purity of line and space, a rough surface texture, and an underlying sense of weight and mass. Poetry definition: artistic writing that stirs a reader's imagination using the lyrical arrangement of words i.e. meaning, sound, rhythm. Brutalist poets are different. Their music is discordant. They work in the Gig Economy and they suffer. They drink too much. They're in the airport pub long before the flight to Crete. Onboard they won't sit still, won't shut up, and the plane gets diverted to Utrecht. They're taken off in cuffs and everyone cheers, films it for TikTok. This is the poet of the Wetherspoon generation. This is the poet I want. Brutalist on the page and Brutalist in the head.
