Ideas of Improvisation by Joel Dias-Porter
Joel Dias-Porter, a resident of Atlantic City, is self-unemployed but is rumored to gamble for a living.
"Joel Dias-Porter's much-anticipated poetry collection is for poetry's true believers."—Yona Harvey
Ideas of Improvisation interrogates how the I & the I of the imaginary can appear perpendicular to the axis of the real. In addition to the expected body of words, Joel Dias-Porter improvises on the idea of the lyric by marooning text to create ghost poems that float above the page and add a new haiku-like dimension. Like the rook in brook, in Ideas of Improvisation we hear how Dias-Porter, a neurodiverse technician of the text, reformulates form to navigate the spectrum of possibility.
