Book Description

John Tucker's latest collection with Chipmunka, Let The Jews Win, is a binary-machine comprised of two long poems. It is counter-poetic and post-Eliotious in style and seems to refine a summary of his position as a writer. The first piece quotes freely from his already existing oeuvre to create a stream of images with a mathemagical implication; the second piece follows on as a logical consequence of the first. It is in many ways about simply doing enough. It is also a journey of spiritual healing.
