l’nguajamm’r is a view from the broken edge of language. Can language be taken apart? Can it be broken? And what results can come from such a deliberate sabotage of language? What sparks can be produced from the rubbing together the flints of linguistic subversion?
Within this book are various interrelated avenues of travel, between more linier paths to more intermedia-based approaches ranging from visual poetry that gradates out onto planes of asemia and beyond into the scoring/notation of a poetry of pure sound (if anything is truly pure- this a book of a deeply dirty concrete heritage).
This is a book of “language jamming”, of disrupting language. Subverting language, but also embracing it.
"Mike's never been afraid to fail, ready to pushing the near mint dirt, the kind left on the slave printer, chained to a radiator, somewhere in the UK. This is that kind of book."
—Daniel f Bradley
“This is a book of delicious poems you can feel with the fingers of your eyes & taste with your fingers’ eyes; poems curly as the brain and body electric with reading, page and ink energized, self-aware, delightful and intelligent. This is virtuoso language jamming and Mike Di Tommaso is a virtuoso l’nguajamm’r.”
—Gary Barwin
