Deer Head Nation

K. Silem Mohammad’s ‘Deer Head Nation’ occupies a territory where the borders between hypertext and intertextuality are patrolled by robot tank cars and killer hovercrafts. In these poems, the vampiric fallacy of globalism is intercepted via such middle-American iconography as the mounted deer head, Guns N’ Roses t-shirts, and Halloween Pumpkin Bubble Lights that become accessory devices to the machinery of war.

Transrational lyric assemblage doubling as satiric critique of nationalism, ‘Deer Head Nation’ books a schizophrenic vacation cruise in the exotic and possibly hostile prosodic waters of search-engine taglines and funny-animal aestheticism. Welcome to ‘Deer Head Nation’..now go home.
