Fuckscapes by Sean Kilpatrick



Over the weekend we started taking pre-orders for a Deluxe Limited Edition of Sean Kilpatrick's fuckscapes.

I will explain what this means. It's deluxe because it includes not only fuckscapes but also a beautiful hand sewn chapbook that Sean co-wrote with Blake Butler. The chapbook is called STAB PYRAMID and it's only available to the first 100 people who place a pre-order, limited.

Pre-orders are going fast. I hate to be pushy so I won't say anything else I'll just let you read these blurbs:

The violent, sexual zone of television and entertainment is made to saturate that safe-haven, the American Family. The result is a zone of violent ambience, a ‘fuckscape’: where every object or word can be made to do horrific acts. As when torturers use banal objects on its victims, it is the most banal objects that become the most horrific (and hilarious) in Sean Kilpatrick’s brilliant first book.

-“Pregnancy dream of poetry has this Sean Kilpatrick book by the fist. You learn to signal to others from the woken state, here, line-by-line. Do you have any extra money? Buy this book! If you have to skip lunch, buy THIS BOOK! “I held my breath so hard I ended up in the country.” Some poetry you read is forgotten, and never remembered. Some poetry, this poetry, Sean Kilpatrick’s poetry, is a manual for exciting the engine to throw you out of the vanquished pleasures. Here is your I.V. drip of sphinx’s blood.”

- CAConrad, author of The Book of Frank
