Sobre IBD

Void Voices is a descent into the Hell that is our contemporary culture. Inevitably, Trump and Brexit feature. Dante’s guide was Virgil; Knight’s is an undead T S Eliot. Along the way, the reader is assailed by a cacophony of heterogeneous material, including song lyrics, doctored news stories, lines from old poems, transcriptions of nonsense texts generated by Google Translate. The Hell is that of our culture; it is also that of the poem itself: poem as voice-filled void.
