"Decadent! Childish! . . . indulgent and melancholy . . . moments of extreme morbidity and anger."-Arielle Greenberg
"Her poems take some getting used to."-Robert Strong
"Many won't find her . . . acceptable at all...-Cole Swensen
Preface 1
People say "nothing new" or "the death of the author" but, I am new and I am not dead.
Intellectual, anachronistic, superserious: I'm not going to start crying because "experimental" and I'm not going to start crying because "not experimental"...
I just want to piss down my own leg...
And should everyone be bored like narcosis?....
Poetry should be "uh huh" like..."baby has to have it..."
If anyone thinks they need to write reviews, teach classes, edit magazines, or translate
books in order to write good poetry...then maybe they should just take a rest from it...
If you try to write a good poem again and again for years and years and receive no awards, no money, no nothing...then you're happy...
And all these blurbs are for s-. Like if I were to carry around a turd and pretend it is my baby...
The poet I worship is Edward Dorn, because I adore his disgust...
Whatever he says feels like art...
Poetry is for crap since there's no money or fast cars in it...
But, in the thighs...I feel it...

Paperback. Etat : New. "Bad Bad" moves the unabashedly juvenile persona elliptically constructed in Zirconia into a seriously amusing, unblushing womanhood. The poems are equally clownish and fuck-offish, taking on with equivocal weightlessness the lexicons and trimmings of fashion, as it applies to the Self and the garments that clothe the Self, and self-obliteration, as experienced through immersion in the delights and disgust of the Other. "come on the revulsion, the revulsion, when you bring it home, like seafoam, when you bring it home.," she writes, in an ecstacy of encounter. Minnis addresses the inner needs of the poet - "the purpose of poetry is to seem as lifelike as possible so that you actually exist" - and is everywhere concerned with the denotation of that which is true and necessary to the true and necessary poet. "it is a poem, which is a trough, where you can make your reputation, as a stiff, anyway, I am not trying to be human anymore, I am trying to be smart.in the head.like a pissant.".
