Praise for dreamland trash
Houston: Press Release - For immediate release December
15, 2017. Saint Julian Press proudly presents a new collection of poems by
Dylan Krieger, which will be available on February 2, 2018.
PRAISE for dreamland trash
“Holding whole generations up at sexpoint,”
dreamland trash is ingenious, witty,
and electric. We are just as likely to wake up next to a moaning unicorn as we
are to be abducted by deranged YouTube automatic captions. It’s in this
derangement that we begin to see the late-capitalist world inside out and
upside down, for its cheap thrills and absolute devaluation of the self.
Abandon and alienation are rendered in a linguistically dense, gothic style,
deeply aware of the “day-glo chokehold” we are all
in.
Sandra Simonds – Further Problems
with Pleasure, Steal It Back
This is the opposite of a sophomore slump. Like the latest subatomic
experiments in above-the-speed-of-light velocity, for a fraction of a second,
when the same particle is in two places at the same time, Dylan Krieger will be
there and elsewhere. As if Giving Godhead
weren't good enough, suddenly she hits out past light-years of stratospheres
and reproductive insanities of biology back to the “invertebrate mother” and
the lunacy of a planet organized largely around humanoid self-destruction. The
scale becomes both precise and enormous, echoes of things heard as if through
water in a glass. You will have to think about the sound of it all for a few
days, it is both so familiar and so volatile. dreamland trash is one of the most perfect IED’s ever made.
Thomas Simmons – NOW

picking up alien frequencies in south Louisiana, where she earned her MFA from
LSU and now sunlights as a trade magazine editor. Her
