Sleepless Nights Under Capitalism from the poems of John Wendell

"To be transpierced by the poetry of Wendell—man without origin writing poetry without origin—as Gelman was in a time of political and poetic difficulty, as I was by Elisa Sampedrín. To occupy that astral body. My eyes and ears were in sympathetic neural response to Gelman’s Wendell (whom anyone schooled in English poetry knows does not exist). To Gelman’s voice emerging from this thing he called Wendell. To the swagger I saw in Wendell, the weary swagger. The pragmatic relation to poetry and how it beautifully wastes our time." From ”Philosophically Speaking,” Erín Moure’s introduction to the volume
