Neil De La Flor Livres

Neil de la Flor crée une poésie qui infuse le théâtre d'un humour distinctement original et mordant. Ses vers sont caractérisés comme sensoriels, électriques et capables de combustion spontanée, s'adressant aux lecteurs dans un « langage impressionnant de coiffure ». Il collabore avec d'autres écrivains sur des recueils remarqués pour leur dextérité linguistique luxurieuse, élégante et bien définie, offrant des expériences littéraires intelligentes mais accessibles. Son travail, souvent entrelacé avec l'art visuel et la performance, explore des thèmes avec une vigueur intransigeante.

Daring and brilliant, Neil De La Flor's latest book, The Ars Magna for the Manifold Dimensions of z , is a big kick in the rear to absurdist theater. It stars a very tough Meta, a member of the Danish underground. "If my head had been cut off," says Meta, "you would've been next." The book explores "parallel worlds that are unaware of the other, but are layered on top of each other like minks or foxes wearing stoles and fur coats." Characters pursue each other through five acts, a series of emails and an epilogue invoking Minkowskian Spacetime - I won't go there but wow! De la Flor dives deep into meta-Meta-mind. --Terese SvobodaIn The Ars Magna for the Manifold Dimensions of z, Neil de la Flor gives us a braided history of the speaker and his beloved Meta. Through found (sometimes redacted text), memory, interviews and gorgeous speculation, de la Flor conjures a lovingly hybrid picture of Meta and the Danish Underground Resistance during the Holocaust. As the poet learns more about his heritage, we as readers learn more about American families and the pasts they carry, what our elders have taught us and what has (and perhaps always will) remain a mystery. --Denise Duhamel
