In the midst of a pandemic, relationships strained or limited by quarantine, massive unemployment, escalating police violence, and protests, we are still human, and most humans when not sick, dying, murdered, grieving, caring for the sick and dying, or protesting, make whatever adjustments we can to keep our hearts and minds intact. This work is a reaction to the surreality of our rapidly changing normal.

This sixth volume of Mr. Purdom's critically ignored formal confessional language flarf performance art epic combines plain English with found and invented words in syntactically ambiguous and grammatically inappropriate configurations of incomprehensible sentimental angst-ridden romantic religiosity inexplicably divided into two twelve-poem chapters titled "Misinterpretations" and "San Francisco." Not recommended.
