Since time immemorial, sacred texts have been approached with reverence. Whether it be the Dead Sea Scrolls, Shakespeare's sonnets or the Gettysburg Address, all have been analyzed with high-mindedness and a tight ass. John J. Trause's "Exercises in High Treason" has arrived to blow the hot air away with a fresh blast of inventiveness. Playfully reinterpreting and subverting the words of the mighty or even the most banal advertising copy, he has created poetry that is a brain teaser. A rib tickler. Like Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, and Guillaume Apollinaire, Trause adores rewiring the absurd and the lyrical. With a tactile appearance on the page which also qualifies it as modern art, "Exercises in High Treason" will be the book you will pass around at your smart dinner party.
