Raw 111: A Paratactic Mass

Inspired by T.S. Eliot's "The Wasteland" by way of Jack Kirby's New Gods, RAW 111 is a cosmological and liturgical odyssey. RAW 111 is an interconnected series of pieces structured like a church service, beginning with an Opening Acclamation and ending with a Dismissal. The text incorporates free verse, prose, haiku, rhyming verse, song lyrics, quotes from comic books, lines from fortune cookies, science fiction, astronomy facts, and more, a mosaic of found text fragments and scraps of meaning that, taken together, form a quasi-coherent whole which ultimately reaches a transcendent crescendo.The text is illustrated throughout by the author.
