Supermodel $24.95 SUPERMODEL is a consummately contemporary poem - a 21st century multimedia cocktail in both form and substance. Its interlocking twin themes of beauty and simulation combine to create a narrative of effortless force and speed - a strange mirror of our own surface-obsessed world. The strong pleasure-factor of the poem - the compelling narrative, titillating anecdotal detours, and at times laugh-out-loud funny parallel internet strings - conceals a deeply conceptual exploration of poetic structure and the possibilities for meaning. The particular genius of SUPERMODEL is Breskin's ability to represent a contemporary consciousness which is at once light and critical. Because we recognize ourselves in the protagonist, the poem is eminently readable and almost effortlessly consumable. We drift merrily along the glittering surfaces of its narrative arc, filled with perfect bodies and model families. And yet at the same time there are deeply critical undercurrents of military culture, teenage violence, narcissim, and sexual perversion. The internet samples which complement the primary narrative emphasize this sense of drift. Today, we all surf the internet. And to some extent how we process this information both manifests and develops our own personal taste. Breskin's poem captures the fractured aspects of this internet culture we all inhabit: the endless statistical froth; the sensational sexuality; the relentless taxonomizing of virtual communities; and most importantly, the lure of transcendence which lurks like a ghost, just one more mouse click away. |
