Writing in the Time of Speed and A.D.D.

These are the adventures of Fae-ling Rhyter, a young woman convinced that words are dying, if not already dead. Fae-ling finds herself in the midst of an A.D.D. generation. Our generation. Patience and focus are not our thing. Movies, music, comics, games - these are mediums that have learned to grab their audience and not let go. These are mediums that understand that art is speed and speed is war. Get in, do your thing, get the fuck out. 1, 2, 3, bang bang, linger and you're dead. But words are subtle and words are fragile. They linger. Like lost children in a time of speed and unforgiveness, they linger.

And so this striving. For a poetry that keeps up, but does so without pretention, without puking. Poetry in the age of unforgiveness.
