The Age of Jive

Maxson's voice is the perfect tour guide for this strange world of poetics. He invents a new form with which to capture the chaos and subtlety of a language on fire-it's full of surprise followed by shock, and shock followed by quiet awe. This is poetry you've been waiting for: rambling but crafted, precise and wild, respectful of the traditions but traveling terra incognita at breakneck speed.
