Sinopsis

Edward Dorn was tasked by his teacher Olson&rsquo,s obsession with his teacher Pound&rsquo,s Cantos to write a poem containing history, which he subverted by humor (&ldquo,Entrapment is this society&rsquo,s sole activity--& only laughter can blow it to rags.&rdquo,). Gunslinger, the historical poem containing humor Dorn invented, may be the closest predecessor to boink! Dealing cards at Slinger&rsquo,s table, Dick Martin proposes &ldquo,Television is the olive in the martini of chain reaction,&rdquo, a line Dorn would have traded on. By comparison, the emergent distraction of funny cowboy poems is merely another noisy fight down the bar.á Martin&rsquo,s brand of humor, like the late master&rsquo,s, is determinedly social. Only the clinically mad tell jokes to themselves, and even then Artaud kept on writing for the stage.á As neurotically self-absorbed as boink!&rsquo,s speaker is, Dick Martin is paradoxically one of our unblinking social critics&mdash,and part of the power of his book derives from his relentless re-estimations of his fate as a plastic card-carrying member of the popular culture it has taken a century for late capitalism to manifest.ááááááá from Rich Blevins', review of boink! (see Appendix A)áRichard Martin&rsquo,s Marks does a remarkable thing: it makes metaphysical absurdities sound as conversational as a good joke. What looks like a surrealist writing his will and sounds like an irrepressible stand-up comedian is actually, fresh, green, recognizably original poetry.áááá Guy Davenport, author of The death of PicassoáI had great fun reading Richard Martin&rsquo,s stories. They&rsquo,re so relentlessly perverse, so acridly playful. They&rsquo,re driven by a remorselessly exact self-consciousness that refuses to accept the limits of its own powers of expression, a kind of anti-textuality that keeps pulling the rug out from under itself.ááááá Stephen-Paul Martin, author of The Ace of Lightning
