Jason Schupp
Schupp's process often assembles a collage of post modern experiences onto structures borrowed from classic literary forms, or onto improvised structures that lend themselves to the subject through selective repetition. The effect ranges from nonchalant to formal, and sometimes gives the reader/listener the vague feeling that a venerated, classic poetic form has been violated. Instead, Schupp has simply appropriated it for more contemporary and relevant subjects. While Schupp's work is also out (in the queer sense), it isn't driven to be so by dogma. His subjects roam through all experiences of life as easily as they amble through classic and contemporary poetic structures.
