Wrote Your Name in the Dirt

Wrote Your Name in the Dirt is #3 in the Brutalist Poetry series published by Red-Raw. #1 - If You Drop Dead (AKA Fleabite Scabs) #2 - We Weren't Invited (AKA Raw Sewage) What is Brutalist Poetry? Take the philosophy of Brutalist architecture and apply it to verse. Brutalist Poetry conforms to some or all of these points: * Purity of line and space. * Words set in concrete. * Divisive. * Egalitarian. * Discordant. Message before the music. * Radical imagery. * Saxon words preferred to Latinate. * Authentic. The anti-poet lives the lines. * Anti-heroic. The anti-poet is a pleb, not a prophet. * Screams from the Gig Economy. * Rough surface texture. * Rejection of any classical style. * Minimalist. Pared down to the bone. * Dry humour. Deadpan delivery. * Underlying sense of weight and mass. * Built on tension. * Socialist in leaning. * Contradictions exist. * Printed on paper, only.
