i don't understand, what is the title of your poem? you have "triptofayne" in your post so i am guessing you are tao lin but that is an author not a poem title.

not necessarily a great work, but a huge leap forward for tao as a writer (compared to his awkward whale poems and silly drawings of animals). he's someone i sincerely look forward to reading more of in the future. he seems to have left irony behind him and is staggering into uncharted territory. he's utterly surpassed his nyc hipster cronies and become something dangerous, weird, and interesting.

at the very least it succeeds as a snapshot of a moment in time at a particular place in a particular subset of society

taipei is actually a central plot point in the novel, so its not just a cool name

yeah i have to agree. there is very little pretentiousness with tao lin. complete opposite of my initial impression of him. he is a little daft and definitely does too many drugs, but he is doing the best he can and (at the moment, can't speak for his earlier works) is doing so without irony.

i read it the whole thing, actually. i liked the part about smuggling drugs inside a cd case. the part actually in taipei had a cozy, almost vaporwave feel to it.

tao...easy on the dmt

i've been listening to a lot of podcasts made from his talks after hearing about the bard from our buddy tao lin.

mckenna does seem a little cracked, especially when he starts to ramble on about time waves and novelty theory and the i ching, but i think he's worth listening to. he uses words interestingly and his accounts of psychadelics makes me want to try shrooms.
