Two Thieves & a Liar Neil De La Flor

The JackLeg Press Poetry SeriesStorming the genders of Americanismo with crossed fingers and sans rules, these poems contradict the text by adding values and filling out applications. Two voices and three voices are threaded to one and the resulting operatic tool digs up the shades of birds, mathematics, riots, and catastrophe. Experience a disturbing disintegration of authorial identity. Experience that identity reshape and reassemble as an intelligent chimera that stares you in the face with as many faces as you can imagine. - Natalija Grgorinic & Ognjen RadenWhen I interviewed these three authors about how they "did" it, that is to say, collaborate, it wasn't like I received three sets of answers. Group mind groped, it was like talking to the tank. - Terese SvobodaCover art: Pamela Callahan, "West Nile Kid." (Courtesy of the artist and Woman Made Gallery, Chicago
