 "Robin Dunn is one of the most talented writers in America– yes, for sheer imagination and wordplay– akin to a musical virtuoso who can play any genre, any style, jazz to blues to boogie to Debussy and Chopin. The trick for someone with the kind of ability which seems to come easy is harnessing it. Focusing the talent to sharpen the effect."
"Debudaderrah takes a concrete hard science future and layers it with myth and spirits and other core elements of humanity; those symbolic leaps that separate us from logic machines ... This is SF poetry with a sense of mystery, of actions unseen like dark planets whose gravitational pulls warp motives in actions seen, but whose reality and orbits must be deduced without firsthand observation. Imagine that the chapters of this book are a disorganized line of sake cups filled randomly with sake or plum wine. And just when you find a proper altitude within which to navigate the astral plane, the next cup is full of single-malt scotch, the kind that's *supposed* to burn." -Herb Kauderer, author of FLYING SOLO -- Debudaderrah, far colony, receives a surprise: a sentient robot from some Earth which does not yet exist. The robot has orders to eliminate all life it finds; but the robot is also human, with a troubled conscience. Science fiction poetry by Robin Wyatt Dunn. No library descriptions found. |

Won this from LibraryThing.
I have never been so confused in my life as I was trying to read this!
I have worked locked psych wards and had patients give me stories they wrote or poems and this reminded me of that...
Word salad!
I couldn't figure out who the characters were, the plot if there was one, even what was going on!
Truly the most bizarre book yet!
I wish I had something nice to say but I didn't understand it at all! Sorry!
"I am home to kill.
I take out my knife.
And I enter my knife into my father.
And I enter my knife into my mother.
I tuck in my wings.
I slip under the exosphere.
I close my eyes."
"Whisper in my ear, daughter, that it will all soon pass.
Go on, whisper.
“Oh, father, I can’t!”
You must.
Whisper it in my ear.
“I love you.”
Tell me.
“This too will pass, father.”
Each of my legions salutes the sky,
where are our ships are laid."
These are sections of the book. The sections I could understand.
Here is the 'about the author'
"Robin Wyatt Dunn lives in a state of desperation engineered by late capitalism, within which his mind is a mere subset of a much larger hallucination wherein men are machines, machines are men, and the world and everything in it are mere dreams whose eddies and currents poets can channel briefly but cannot control. Perhaps it goes without saying that he lives in Los Angeles."
Yep folks, this should say enough. (
