Meaning is Embarrassing

Berlatsky's 'Meaning is Embarrassing' is a bold new collection of poetry and quasi-poetic essays that challenge the traditional role of poetry and artistic thinking in the publishing space. Drawing on a thoughtful academic reading of conceptual art modes (like Duchamp's readymades), it turns the poem into a painting that is intellectual, political, satirical, and, well, darn fun to read. —Lachlan J McDougall, founder and editor of LJMcD Communications The purpose of a blurb on the back of a book is to grab readers' attention, engage their interest, and compel them to further explore a book's content. This blurb serves as a glowing review and a persuasive summary of this book of conceptual poetry. Thus, this blurb has achieved its goal. - petro c. k., founder and editor of dadakuku
