Muzzle Thyself: Poems

Paperback

Price: $9.95

Overview

Nothing is pure or sacred in Muzzle Thyself. If it hasn’t rubbed up against something or isn’t sweating, it’s of little concern to Lauren Fairbanks. Literary fragments, found materials, are organized in such a way as to appear unliterary. The narrative line breaks with authorial intrusion and other modes of interruption. Most poems end with a slammed door or a punchline. Muzzle Thyself is not lofty or nice, but it has juice. It’s a created world, a world reflecting one mind. The creation is complexly unrealistic, filled with humor, rubbish, and ambiguous information.
