Jasper’s latest project spans over two years and involves the publication of over 47 fake poems in 30 poetry journals. These fake poems are collected, along with detailed notes about the process, in Ceylon’s latest book. Topics Include: Is poetry dead?--is poetry foundation a captured institution–Allen Ginsberg and the beat writers–identity politics in poetry–literary journals–and more!
