Titre uniforme: Health care and politics.Same diff
Par Donato Mancini. 2017
Influenced by documentary cinema, Dada poets, montage techniques, and a range of poets who are still writing, "Same Diff" explores…
the way social and economic histories become imprinted within language itself. The political and poetic melancholy of our moment is revealed in a long poem on climate change, particularly the disappearance of snow, while the real-life effects of fiscal austerity and poverty are voiced in fragments conveying social neuroses that stem from amplified, unfair competition for basic necessities. Each poem introduces a dominant motif that develops through repetition and incremental variations, sourcing language from newspapers, web sources, and overheard conversations to create an emotive effect, as felt in music. Bringing together research that spans the 15th century to the present day, Mancini searches for symbols that stand in for major social issues to articulate the nuances of living in a precarious time. 2017.
