"The religious parallel is clear: both plerosis (filling) and kenosis (purging) must be achieved before reaching God. Paul Cunningham decrypts the cubes, only to uncover a 'flesh of code' and a 'cryptography of open pores' that cannot be wormed through" #Brillo www.lavenderink.org/site/shop/br...
My next book, #Brillo, is forthcoming from #NOLA press Lavender Ink. (Cover reveal coming soon!) 'Brillo' is a book-length meditation on #PaulThek's "Meat Piece with #Warhol Brillo Box" (1965) philamuseum.org/collection/o...

We are driving good people to the limits of their very being. For what? For "whoppers"? A sandwich that contains 911 mg of sodium. The American Heart Association recommends no more than 1,500 mg of sodium per day. America is a death cult. youtu.be/Xz2HDtROMvs?...

Thanks @nataliesolmer.bsky.social for featuring some ekphrasis I fashioned for The Indianapolis Review! A poem inspired by @joyellemcsweeney.bsky.social and the insect-flecked Schiaparelli piece below. And "Cipher": inspired by the late Alber Elbaz's own glittering swarm: theindianapolisreview.com
