The Lichtenberg Figures by Ben Lerner

oh i'm really interested in this, alienating quatorzains, difficulties 4 us to gesture at & say check out what this guy's doing, what's all that. & so much of Lichtenberg is violence, frothy & angular or subterranean sometimes, it's vividly Iraq, the long tower-shadow. Suburban consciousness? flipside of bernadette's sexy coin? I don't think this is to say he's channeling, talismanic america, whoever she is, but it falls out that way like Gummo. Anyway I'll come back. what a figure. an undergrad ?
