The Artistry of Natural Selection

from Angels & Insects are Creatures With Wings by Amy Jannotti text: THE ARTISTRY OF NATURAL SELECTION it begins in a borderline state. indiscernible extraction of shared element. jumble of non-organic subversion. less, imitation, more becoming. less evolution, more reverse. it begins with the evocation of wings in flightless, molding creatures: quasi post-presence. hybrid manifest. it begins when you leave thermal footprints in the sand. dissection electric. it begins when you cut women up & then sew them together: a design that happens, scissors in hand. understand anatomy &, with confidence, splice the gene. a surgical violence. in the cosmic question of species conception: it begins as it always begins: with an open, stylized wound to the abdomen. it could be a beginning: you could grow human hair in your viscid lining. instead, you peel your surface to reveal it’s flayed. to reveal your probing interior, trapped inside with living worms.

Joke's on the contemporary all-lowercase poetry haters; it is becoming a signifier that a piece was written by a human

Huge thank yous to those who've purchased physical & digital copies of ANGELS & INSECTS this year. It's turned 2 this month & has admittedly been limping along in terms of sales, so the resurgence of interest this year has really put wind back in my sails.

Also, Kith is wonderful.

Angels & Insects Are Creatures With Wings Amy Jannotti cover: black line drawing of a closed winged moth on a background of pale grey and olive green text: KILL THE FLY/SAVE THE CHILD fly in theater is the space over the stage: the sensation of being debrided, of settling on the eyes or the skin to seek fluid from wounds. without the fly, who will tell the dead tissue it's dead? who will fish? who will bait? to be a model organism requires some capability of spreading disease; some willingness to harm the cattle or the economy or both. i'm done growing. I've shed my wings & become secondary. i can detect taste & smell & respond to touch. this is theater: how i flock to light in darkness even when it shocks me. how i occupy space on the stage. how i taught myself to levitate. in many flies, the larva stage is long & adults live short lives. i am increasingly inclined to rest my gelatin head, we've only just begun. kithbooks.com/shop

One thing I want all the "I finish hours of work in seconds" AI bros to know is, you are raising the threshold for yourself & your coworkers. This level of output will become expected, but your pay will stay the same or decrease. It's already happening.

Hell-bent and determined, atlas st. cloud comes to the page unbothered by doctrine and defiant of form
Twice saved and come through the desert, St. Cloud is risen, rebirthing. he’s paid his penance. he’s earned this time.

SEDIMENT Atlas St. Cloud cover: a marble white forearm reaches up from the bottom of a gloss black cover and hooks its fingers into a gash. the opened wound reveals blue and pink fiber weeping in gold. text: HE/HIM when i say i'm a man i mean my shoulders are broad yet i cannot carry the weight. when i say i'm a man i mean but like, not really when i say i'm a man i mean if I had to choose shatter my nebula let the stars grind against one another hope they form new constellations the milky way we never meant to be all that there is so i'm begging for an exploration of the sky
