What is From The Author's Private Collection about?
Poetry. Art. 'i'm Dressed Like A Jamestown Cannibal / In A City Of Mistake Babies With E-cash, ' Writes Amling In An Astute And Challenging Debut Collection That's Both Deeply Poignant And Darkly Humorous. Like A Deadpan Oracle Or Font Of Offbeat Wisdom You Didn't Know You Needed To Know, Amling Acts As A Guide Through The Ersatz Epicureanism Of Contemporary America, Where 'freedom Still Remains Monetary.' He Opens With A Brief Series Of Poems That Are Composed Of Cuts And Outtakes 'like A Polygraph Of A Satellite' That Serves As A Junkyard Ars Poetica. A Visual Artist Adept In The Medium Of Collage, He Expresses These Poems As Social Critique Delivered Through A Signal Scrambler. But His Critique Often Extends To The Practice Of Making Art Itself: 'i Know Many People Living Lives Of Artistic Practice / That Cannot Take Care Of Themselves, / And Not Out Of Paraplegic Circumstance. // Art Has Not Refined Them.' Reading Through 'ill Estates, ' 'rare And Special Interests, ' And 'liquid Assets, ' One Encounters Characteristically Playful Statements Such As 'it Is Not So Hard / To Accept Meaninglessness / Acceptance Is Very Meaningful.' Amling Has Designed A Gallery Installation Of Poe
