{"product_id":"subduing-demons-in-america-9781593762049","title":"Subduing Demons in America","description":"Associated with key 1960s avant garde figures such as Ginsberg, Burroughs, Rauschenberg, and Johns, John Giorno was an early pioneer of multimedia poetry through Giorno Poetry Systems, which also distributed a who’s who of the American underground from Patti Smith to Sonic Youth. Giorno’s use of transgressive material and in-your-face, amplified delivery was also a key influence on punk\/new wave pioneers such as Suicide, Throbbing Gristle, and Black Flag. Not just a poet but a sexual, spiritual, and political radical, Giorno helped pioneer the open celebration of queer sexuality in poetry in the 1960s. \u003ci\u003eSubduing Demons in America\u003c\/i\u003e offers the best of Giorno’s revolutionary poetry, from his striking Pop Art–influenced poems of the 1960s to the psychedelic, echo-laden, multitracked cut-ups of the 1970s with their explosive configurations of queer sex, spiritual practice, and the bohemian Good Life. Also here are the pared-down punk\/hip-hop performance poems that Giorno performed in the 1980s.","brand":"Catapult","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62275962339715,"sku":"9781593762049","price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9781593762049.jpg?v=1785539583","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/subduing-demons-in-america-9781593762049","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
