Openn3d: Mr. K Sutherland
No, it's not Jack Bauer who's turning up at the next Openned night, but Keston Sutherland.
For those of you unfamiliar with Keston's work, we direct you towards this five-star review of his work, Neocosis, from Amazon - it says it better than we could:
If I were to eat a book, I would have eat this book. It is a book which is for some time hard to stop and look around at, but to be precipitated to us thus in our modern life! It ROCKS of course and it is about war and making love to Lassie and right wing neoclassicism and some of that stuff.
We're very excited to have him reading, and we hope you will come to what is shaping up to be the best Openned night so far. Keep checking the blog for further news.

Not to split hairs, identities, or reaveal too much of a schizophrenic side to Openned, but hey its late, so to those to who the thought of consuming a book brings on abject visons of paper cuts, and perhaps even worries of digestion, consider this alternate insight from the Observer(luckily endorsed by barque.)
"Within Sutherland's grotesque cabaret, we encounter many real-life characters, such as Roger Ailes, the genius of Republican-biased television since the Nixon era, now head of Fox; Albert Wohlstetter, advocate of precision bombing and limited nuclear war and Michael Levin, an NYU professor who advocates torture. This poetry is nearer to scratch video than heroic couplets, farcically remixing the conventional metaphors of political discussion, sampling bin Laden and the chatter of Fox-dominated radio frequencies and wrestling self-consciously with his vestigial literary options. ...If you want to know what a committed but undogmatic poetry might look like in the era of Gitmo and Abu Ghraib, this is one place to start." --Robert Potts, "Life, remixed", Sunday February 12, 2006, The Observer.
Plus we can always do better (at least better than Amazon... we hope)
