Poetry. Art. Full-color postcards in an envelope. Kenward Elmslie's works engage many of the textual and visual terms of Dada, Surrealism and Pop Art in an utterly homemade, quirky context often characterized by humorous linguistic density. Building mosaics from equal part 1940s Broadway show tune, pureed anthropological field report and scandalous high culture aside, Elmslie's writing projects an impossibly composite speaker as it wanders between dense poetic stanzas and deceptively neat iconic images, between linguistically experimental poetry and ambitious deformations of popular music.
