VENUS CUNICULOUS:
excerpt of analogue, 122 pp.
drone fascicle three (2003)
An
enquiry into the rationale of a sole short line. The two words
of the title made up one line in a piece
called Ode: 20/03, presented on the world wide web the day after
allied hostilities began in Iraq. A browsing reader suddenly wonders.
Who is this
mother of civil Roman Imperium and cradle of culture? There's a feministic
fury for re-definition of terms.
The material, signed by a single heteronym, covers a thousand
ways not to say the word: via accounts, credit, creed, cultivation’s
graft, combat and concupiscence.
Are love and war as inextricably implicated as natural power and spring-time
vegetative attraction?
