Shift Gristle by Heller Levinson Shift Gristle is under-girded by Hinge's tireless capacity to Seek. Shift Gristle crackles with high aspiration. Contouring the unknown, fleshing-out the Linguistically Undocumented, the under-acknowledged, the hidden, the digitally stifled, this latest Hinge production summons a mind rebellion, a torch toward primordial utterance. Mist production as poetic matter expulses the cliché ridden subjective "I." Atmosphere, not narrative, becomes keystone. Whether conversing with artists such as Matisse, Edward Hopper, Linda Lynch, the philosopher Heidegger, or exploring new modules like "crossfelling encounter," "shadow," "grammatical intimate," Heller persists in his mission to free us from vapid automatisms, to enrapture our residencies on earth.....Black Widow Press is pleased to and committed to publishing Levinson's further investigations into Hinge Theory poetics-pushing the boundaries of linguistically based poetry into realms touched upon by other poets but pushed into a new dimension by Levinson.
