Blackout by Nanni Balestrini

zachcarter's review

4.0

I didn't care for the foreword, but the poetry is really powerful and packs a punch. It sets the stage for a lot of the struggles waged in the 60s and 70s not only in the U.S. and Europe but throughout the third world. I found the repetition almost haunting, a dark reminder of the looming threat of fascism and state violence.
