A Story About an Unfinished Love Affair and Readymade Literature

"John Holten is an Irish writer and artist based in Berlin, and runs the “fictional” publishing house Broken Dimanche Press, a publishing endeavor that takes its cue from Yves Klein‘s one-day newspaper, Dimanche-Le Journal d’un Seul Jour. John wrote the following story, “Emergency in Favor of Twice,” for gorse no. 10 in response to a request by my poetry editor, Christodoulos Makris. For the issue, Christodoulos was given a free-reign to assemble works that celebrate Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain — assemble them quite literally because the issue was a box, and the stories were compiled within." - Susan Tomaselli, editor of gorse

Check out some instal shots and the accompanying text written by Adam Fearon for his show currently on view at Harbinger, Reykjavik.

The text is a fascinating read that moves from the orderliness of the A4 page to the messy, 'black liquor' of lignin, taking in the figure of the rag picker in the early modern literature to role of the surfaces of our digital screens...

Third-Millennium Heart | Angel City Review

Yet another amazing review of Third-Millennium Heart up at Angel City Review

'One of the central and most powerful themes running through this beating Third-Millennium Heart is a no-holds barred exploration of the psyche of motherhood. The collection seems to have a single speaker throughout its run, and her thoughts are never far from a child she has had, a child she is yet to have, and/or a child she can no longer have. These sections are a master-class on the power of language in poetic form, as they beautifully convey the kind of visceral intensity that can be found in unconditional love and in pre- and post-partum depression.

The Monstrous Maternal in Ursula Andkjær Olsen’s THIRD-MILLENNIUM HEART: A Review by Jayme Russell

'This is a dark love song to the maternal female body. The heart gushes in uncontrollable streams, trying to heal. Her body is the universe. Her heart is in all places. At once archaic and cosmic, this space is the primordial swamp, where the female body creates, and horrifically destroys, life.'

Herzliche Glückwünsche to those who received non-German language lit stipendiaries today in Berlin! A great initiative and great news for literature in Berlin, Germany and Europe. Literature must constantly remain active in bridging language regions and national boundaries and a city like Berlin is a great place to begin and end such bridges. Long may it last.

Third-Millennium Heart | Harvard Review Online

Amazing review of Third-Millennium Heart up on Harvard Review by K.T. Billey:

'Language is the scaffold, the rebar of lonely edifice. The heart is incubation space for suckling-society, the political mammal: “Mother Market’s lover-me-lover-me-not dances with the food / chains of the world in its hair.”'

Sometimes nails are hit on the head before we realize what is under construction. Particularly in times of epochal shift, voices emerge from the crowd, articulating our apprehension and drawing the curtains back. Things are Named—Castle, RED, State, wagon. If the novelty isn’t in the phenomena t...

A Review of Third-Millennium Heart by Scott Esposito

' Like a supercollider smashing together exotic subatomic particles just to see what happens, Olsen accelerates language to the very limits, detonating it to watch what knowledge comes forth from ecstasy.'

We are not even 2 percent of the way through the 1,000 years that will comprise the third millennium of the common era, yet if forced to make a guess of what may characterize this new age, one might cautiously utter the word "flow."
