About this product
Product Information
Like driftwood, words, phrases and severed sentences come floating by. Part fisherman, part scavenger, I spread my net and rescue these bits of debris from the deep. I can't say why certain severed statements catch my eye. Floating fragments of meaning, they sparkle and speak to me. And by a peculiar lure beyond my conscious ken, they sometimes come together. The pairings are not always opportune. Some sniff at each other's nether parts in passing, as dogs do, and promptly part in pursuit of other more enticing scents. But on occasion something clicks. This is my second published assemblage of such felicitous couplings. Some readers may relish the result. If not, just toss it back into the tide.

Reviews
Turning to the instinctive and tactile art of cut-ups reminds me of how a simple process with text itself can prompt such a depth of discussion and thinking, and open up the author's otherwise empty mind. -Sarah Tremlett This poet's cut-up poems [...] find their roots in Dada poet Tristan Tzara's méthode découpé, and shares scissors with William S. Burroughs' cut-up method by which the gunman-junkie-novelist made new poems from old material. Wortsman's approach differs though from his forbears. Central to both Tzara's and Burroughs' programs was production by chance encounter - Tzara advocated drawing cut-up words from a hat; Burroughs cut pages into sections, rearranged them, and sought out interesting juxtapositions. The products of these chance operations intermittently provided revelatory insights and proved capable of expanding past poets' oeuvres by rearranging their language in a manner reminiscent the Musikalisches Wurfelspiel, or musical dice game, attributed to Mozart, by which one could compose a near infinite variety of waltzes from a small body of musical text. Rather than relying on chance as a generative device, Wortsman reads his source material prophetically, scanning texts, selecting words and phrases that attract his attention, and turning these to his ends. [...] ...emotionally rich and truly original. -Marc Zegans
