I finally received my copy of Andrew Burke & Phill Hall's chapbook, Shikibu Shuffle (been waiting), a 15 part improvised collaboration (although just how many improvs & where is a left a bit up in the air).
I like. It swings, & rustles its way along. Puns & odd quotes & much else all stirred into the pot. But the lines cut, sharp, & neat.
Over there in Oz, you can get a copy from Andrew. Elsewhere, you'd have to get in touch with rob mclennan's above/ground press.

The postliterate sensibility is offended by anything that isn’t television, views with suspicion the compound sentence, the subordinate clause, words of more than three syllables. The home and studio audiences become accustomed to hearing voices swept clean of improvised literary devices, downsized into data points, degraded into industrial-waste product.
