Paul Maziar Livres

I hear an unerring genius for phrasing in this voice, a poet brimming with charm and 'self-selecting' vividness. I am reminded of the work of Eileen Myles, Pierre Reverdy, and John Wieners. The voice is being reshuffled to the point of constant motion, like when a notebook poem just fits together endlessly, and the poet can even speak through someone else's text with an alarming clarity. Paul Maziar introduces a new way of making poems through addition, subtraction, and through the beheading of storytelling. He is a true hero locked in his quest. Quick Millions is dripping with magic - get a handle on it as quickly as you can.- Cedar Sigo
