Synopsis:

The second volume of Proletariaria, presenting work written between 1999 and 2001, sets out by stating the letter "B" as postscript and descendant of Zukofsky's "A"-8. This initial, generative identification expands across various trajectories, among them a hacked Western/Central European lexical index re-mixed by way of the archive fever of Prighov's futurism, Stein-like percussion from the shopfloor of a Cleveland factory, online hot-swapping of virtual identities, a serial meditation on the traditional media of poetry and painting and their conceptual affinities, and close attention to marginalized voices and experiences crossing and cross-dressing racial and gender boundaries. The signage of Volumes 1 and 2 of Proletariaria might be said to belong to the multiple or composite signature, where intertextuality and street-sound recordings combine to reverberate previous acts of authoring in a projective effort to open instead of close the past.
