Poetry. The publication of bill bissett's RUSH: WHAT FUCKAN THEORY; A STUDY UV LANGUAGE in 1972 firmly ushered Canadian poetics into the postmodern era. Out of print for 40 years--and reissued here complete with an interview with bissett about the book's creation and a critical afterword by derek beaulieu and Gregory Betts--RUSH embodies a collagist, multi-conscious approach to art that recognizes no division between the work and the world, the author and his sexuality, his breath, his influences; the theory and the practice. Arguing that "a new line has started," RUSH captures the urgency of a new model of production that resists the closure and mastery of any one mind. It is an elegant rejection of aesthetic ego and all presumptions of authority. RUSH: WHAT FUCKAN THEORY; A STUDY UV LANGUAGE is a vital, vocal protest against business as usual and the exploitation of the individual from one of Canada's most important avant-garde poets.

Autorenporträt
BILL BISSETT opened Canadian poetry to postmodernism and from there proceeded in every direction all at once. Since his invention of the blewointment press in 1963, bissett has worked diligently to explode all boundaries of author, text, and context, radically disrupting static and disciplinary modes of art making. Read, taught, studied, and imitated all around the world, he now lives in Toronto, painting and writing somewhere between painting and poetry. GREGORY BETTS is a poet, editor, essayist, and teacher, originally from Vancouver and Toronto. Since his first published poem, an anagrammatical translation of a short poem by bpNichol, Betts's work has consistently troubled individual authorship through such mechanisms as anagrams, collaboration, found-texts, and response-text writing. Betts currently lives in St. Catharines, where he edits PRECIPICe magazine, curates the Grey Borders Reading Series and teaches Avant-Garde and Canadian Literature at Brock University. DEREK BEAULIEU is the author of multiple books of poetry and conceptual fiction, editor of the acclaimed small presses housepress and No Press, and co-editor of Writing Surfaces: the Selected Fiction of John Riddell. He is an instructor at Mount Royal University and the Alberta College of Art + Design.
