Description

POP rummages through the stale Cheetos after the love poem: What remains? What never existed to begin with? The book invites the reader to journey both forward and backward in time, to retrace steps, solve word searches, hold pages to the light. POP delineates the intensities of a volatile relationship through a variety of lenses. As the speaker tries to anchor her experience, she is met with a clamour of perspectives: it is a junk food fight of poetic styles, each line fried and seasoned using recipes passed down for generations; it is a sad clown’s skincare routine; it is a singalong, a cartoonish cacophony of pots and puns. The speaker shakes the love poem for all it’s worth, leaving behind a trail of lint, wrappers, fibs, and soap foam, but opening up enough space to move in herself.

"From the junk food aisle of the dépanneur, Simina Banu’s POP brings the emotional twist and salt of a big bag of pretzels. Melancholy colour-blocks with Cheetos, heartbreak with honey-mustard. Tiny lyrics erupt from wholegrain breakfast cereals, a healthy breakfast. POP rocks." – Derek Beaulieu

"A Simina Banu poem is a shapeshifter. There is no field of thought it shies away from, serving philosophy in the kitchen, morphing from a pop-culture pop-up to a record cover recalling poetry’s sonic debt, falling into a great pile of concrete word-sticks to smash or rebuild/grow something from. Though the Banu poem is just as likely to run off, gulp ketchup and luminous Doritos, breaking with the program, changing ownerships. POP is an effervescent exhibit showing off all its contexts with the appetite of a drunk archivist. Put this record in your mind and listen to it crackle and sign." – Ana Božičević
