Uncontrolled Experiments in Freedom by Brian Stephen Ellis (English) Paperback B

Description: Uncontrolled Experiments in Freedom by Brian Stephen Ellis Uncontrolled Experiments In Freedom is a poetically manic and shimmering account of the life of Brian Stephen Ellis. His words shiver, rant and constantly threaten to fall apart under the weight of their own gravity. His narratives come from and carry the images of a world where many believe no poetry to exist. His voice is a second-hand microscope examining the fuzzy science of survival. Ellis colorful voice is a strong addition to the Boston spoken word tradition FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Uncontrolled Experiments In Freedom is a poetically manic and shimmering account of the life of Brian Stephen Ellis.

Ellis' colorful voice is a strong addition to the Boston spoken word tradition Review Brian Ellis poems make me want to set fire to my house and run out the flaming door, through the streets, the fields, up the buildings and across the moon. -Anis Mojgani, "Over the Anvil We Stretch" Review Quote Uncontrolled Experiments in Freedom is full of good reminders. One: there is beauty everywhere. Two: be nice to the guy at the register. He could be writing poems like these. Three: Brian Ellis is one of the greatest young voices out there. Scary good. Scary, scary good. -Megan Thoma, teacher Excerpt from Book INDIANA OUTSIDEI must have been turningin my sleeping bagin the back of the station wagonFloating on worn steel and minerals1992 Buick CenturyI knew we were moving before my eyelids turned onMy skin had memorized the vibration of the highwayEverything came back to me piece by pieceOn the last day of work as night manager of Family Dollar,I locked up the place and left with three trash bagsfull of everything we thought would be usefulWe drove a night and a day and a nightand when I lifted my humming foreheadfrom under the sleeping bagKatie said, "Boo, look at this..."It was Indiana outside, and the landlifted like it knew usThe horizon shimmered above the borderlandof second-grade landscapes, where children,in their infinite wisdom, leave the universe blankEach second I was further than I had ever beenfrom Manchester, New Hampshireand the earth erupted out of the sunand it was morning in another landPeople had questions about mine and Katies relationshipBut I never loved Katie asmuch as the the things she did...Her ability to move without questionHer ability to drive in the nightI didnt love her as much as the fact that I felt safe with herMy older brother thought I was helping her run awayDescendants of the coast are often endowedwith a seventh sense: They can always tell how far they are from the oceanGetting too far inland, they become afraidIn Indianathe earth never separates from the sunand the night is not dark but burntin the shadow of clashing flamesWe couldnt have been running awaybecause runaways are people who move further and furtherand further from home,and we were most certainly going towards itRunaway are out to forget, and wewere trying to memorizeRunaways are motion, even when standing stillBut Katie and I, we never stopped movingand home was always on the other sideof the eruption of earthIt is a good thing that theres no oceanin Indiana, because the sailors and runawayswould have most certainly gotten lostwhen the sun rose in every direction Details ISBN0981521339 Short Title UNCONTROLLED EXPERIMENTS IN FR Publisher Write Bloody Publishing Language English ISBN-10 0981521339 ISBN-13 9780981521336 Media Book Format Paperback Year 2008 Publication Date 2008-07-31 Author Brian Stephen Ellis Pages 72 Illustrations Yes Imprint Write Bloody Publishing Country of Publication United States Place of Publication Long Beach Audience General/Trade UK Release Date 2008-07-14 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
