TWO SELF-PORTRAITS (AFTER MURILLO) is a forty-two page open-field poem, in the diptych format used in Shute's previous book COMPLEMENTARY ANGLES, inspired by the two surviving self-portraits from the Spanish Baroque painter Bartolom? Esteban Murillo. composed in San Antonio, Texas, in 2020-2021 under lockdown from COVID-19. Shute's work is rooted in the post-Projective Verse poetics of Blackburn, Berrigan, and Eigner, but completely his own. The title of his upcoming selected poems volume sums up his approach: Junk Sculpture From The New Gilded Age. The poetry echoes his work with such avant-garde musician-composers as Derek Rogers, Mari Rubio (aka More Eaze) and Alfred 23 Harth, while being steeped in the culture and particulars of the present-day Gulf Coast and South-Central Texas. The book's epigraph comes from composer Morton Feldman, "silence is my substitute for counterpoint." A career-spanning Selected Poems will be published by Moloko Print in Germany in late 2021.
