Raising Eyebrows
The surrealist antics of Gary Barwin will run the predictability of your universe through a particle accelerator. Watch as your right eyebrow turns into you as a child. Watch Jeff connect the mower to the Internet to cut other people's lawns. Hear the sploosh as Barwin drops some extra syllables in Basho's frog pond. Funny, smart and as unexpected as the Spanish Inquisition, Raising Eyebrows is divided into four mind-boggling sections - dirty dogs, my life in the salad spinner, ukiah poems: frogments from the frag pond, and bassoon throng blues. Raising Eyebrows will make you do just that.

Raising Eyebrows more than Bean Spasms.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Barwin is the most exciting poet to come out of Canada since Ted Padgett and Ron Berrigan moved to Toronto to start the New Toronto School in the 60s. The poems in this engaging, inciteful, and energetic collection build on the work created by bpMcCaffery and Steve Nichol of the TISH Research Group and the visionary free-form poetics espoused by Don Bissett and Bill Coles.Barwin's poems are always inventive and invigorating. Imagine if Seamus Heaney and Tristan Tzara met T.S. Eliot and Rimbaud on a day when the potatoes were on fire. This book would be the result.
