- Summary
- "disgust is an epic, fragmented poem born of a week-long performance, a series of escalating constraints that send Emji Saint Spero spiraling into a frenzy, and ultimately, a manic break. In this hesitant and hyperconfessional excavation of the quotidian, Saint Spero constructs a manual for maneuvering as a body under duress. Debased, abject, and perfectly problematic , it asks us to dissect the ways in which we are othered and the ways we are complicit in our own objectification. Saint Spero's language stumbles, stutters, interrupts itself, gets it wrong, doesn't know what's being asked of it, is left unfinished, exhausted, and is at its most clairvoyant in its collapse." -- Back cover
