dadakuku 2

The second yearly print anthology of the online journal dadakuku, collecting all the works published online during 2024 combining the freedom and weirdness of Dada and surrealism with the minimal aesthetics of micropoetry. This second volume builds upon the work of the first one in representing the growing shared community of outsider verseplay. Featuring 622 verses, from 218 authors both new and established, there is no other series of poetry collections like this, offering continual bafflement, untertainment, and humorment. A beacon in a glut of self-important and serious verse, this collection brings back a sense of play and absurdity. Life is short and weird, poetry should be too. Includes an essay and foreword by petro c. k., and an introduction by Noah Berlatsky.
