Abjection, translation, and insurrection: in Species Branding (Capilano University Editions 2010) these coordinates give new garb to some of poetry's most enduring idealisms and abstractions: beauty, desire, and friendship. No frame is left uncatalogued. Every bastion of the bourgeoisie is stormed. Every wall - every gender - is scaled. In other words, "revolution ends here, man."
