Back in No Time: The Brion Gysin Reader

Back in No Time: The Brion Gysin Reader

Brion Gysin (1916â€“1986) was a visual artist, historian, novelist, and an experimental poet credited with the discovery of the â€˜cut-upâ€™ technique -- a collage of texts, not pictures -- which his longtime collaborator William S. Burroughs put to more extensive use. He is also considered one of the early innovators of sound poetry, which he defines as â€˜getting poetry back off the page and into performance.â€™ Back in No Time gathers materials from the entire Gysin oeuvre: scholarly historical study, baroque fiction, permutated and cut-up poetry, unsettling memoir, selections from The Process and The Last Museum, and his unproduced screenplay of Burroughsâ€™ novel Naked Lunch. In addition, the Reader contains complete texts of several Gysin pieces that are difficult to find, including â€œPoem of Poems,â€ â€œThe Pipes of Pan,â€ and â€œA Quick Trip to Alamut.â€
