Death of Art dissects post-capitalist, post-Internet, post-death culture, our ability and affinity to be both disembodied and tethered to technology, allowing us to be in several places at once and nowhere at all. "The future is trash. Recycling it, re-arranging it. Making it beautiful again." "Lately I had been thinking about writing a memoir because everything else I've ever written is a memoir while pretending to be something else and I figured it was time I did something else, which was a memoir. So much of my life is predicated on pretending or performance. Language had become another performance for me. One in which I could show off and show myself. At the same time." HYPE "Cuban-American writer Chris Campanioni's new work is billed as non-fiction, but serves as much more. A dancey mashup of poetry and hybrid prose reminiscent of Maggie Nelson's Bluets, Death of Art is a genre-bending glimpse into what feels like Campanioni's private diary." -Duende "In Death of Art, Campanioni re-evaluates intimacy and narcissism in 2016-not just its mode and function, but how we think about and value each-and he does so in unexpected and unusual ways." -The Brooklyn Rail "Campanioni's writing has a really hypnotic rhythm. Something very Donald Antrim to this, except Donald Antrim isn't in his twenties writing for the next generation of readers." -The Wrong Quarterly "Campanioni offers us references and reflections on city life, highlighting the tension between being in an environment filled with anonymous potential and the highwire act of maintaining intimacy in a world where every thought can be recorded and published for everyone to see in an instant." -Prelude "Campanioni's use of question and insight and the overall humanity of this work is beautiful and impressive." -Saw Palm "Campanioni's style is awesome. It's like Bolaño meets DeLillo meets Borges, which is everything I ever want out of a reading experience." -Red Fez "Campanioni's poetry is poignant and honest, possessing a sincere (if skeptical) romanticism that is necessary yet rare in the 21st Century. These poems stand the test of time." -LIGHT/WATER "A strong but delicate linguistic tour de force." -Bellingham Review
