petro c.k.’s latest explosion of joyful nonsense confirms that chaos and absurdism are alive and well and vomiting all over these pages relentlessly in the lineage of DaDa but chewed up and spit out for our 21st century digital nightmare with a gleeful and subversive insanity. This book is not language but then again it is language but then again it does not matter because then again these obscure symbols mashed, splintered, and splattered together create something both familiar and completely unknowable. A mind is meant to be warped and this book will do just that.

, …!botApart manages intriguing and begging questions, engaging with pivotal concerns for our moment. The poet finds himself between dialectic tensions, drawn and quartered, unavoidably bound by the myopic sense of literal clarity. within ….!botApart petro c.k. mines thoughtfully into the rigorously bound expectations and what results is an orgiastic fervor of pandemonium, an avant-garde concept album from a poet at the top of his genre. A captivating read you will not soon forget, the philosophies and inquiries driving which will only become more relevant and pressing in years to come!
