She Bang Slam (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780987675903)

She Bang Slam is slam poetry by a young American poet, Erik Wackernagel, who created these poems for his slam performances over the past two years, in the United States and in Quebec, Canada. The first part of She Bang Slam is compiled of shorter "semi-automatic rhymes," while section two is made up of Erik's longer eleven part series, "Carnival of Words." From the beginning to the end of She Bang Slam, Erik passionately questions the relationship between the contemporary use of "words" and the "images" that result. He does this by documenting how the "word-image has gone digitalized." Moreover, a reading of these "word-images" unfolds a novel "mythic consciousness" at work in our emerging posthuman culture.
