A Hamburger in a Gallery

Stuart Rosss eighth collection of poems delivers a gallery of emotionally charged poetry experiments along with a series of philosophical meditations on the aesthetically contrived and sometimes downright quirky poetic processes that were followed to generate the poems in this book. A Hamburger in a Gallery is deeply engaged in demonstrating how art happens, especially through a poets immediate aesthetic engagement with other works of art. Comprised of poems written after the lines and language of other artists works, during sessions of listening to other poets reading their poems, or constructed from the parts and pieces of other artists words, A Hamburger in a Gallery provides a distinctive experience of the relationship between the finished poem and the process that informed its creation. Blurring the boundaries between creative writing and creative reading, Ross has once again created an utterly original, accessible, moving, and avant-garde classic.
