Poetic Research Bureau Publications

@poeticresearch

The PRB attempts to cultivate composition, publication and distribution strategies that enlarge the public domain. It favors appropriations, impersonations, 'compost' poetries, belated conversations, unprintable jokes and doodles, 'unoriginal' literature, historical thefts and pastiche. The publication emphasis is on ephemeral works, short-run magazines and folios, short-lived reprints and excerpts in print-on-demand formats, and the occasional literary fetish objects of stupidly incomparable price and value.

Pitching with Demonic Sigil Grips

Andy Martrich

PRB Editions: 2016

Pitching with Demonic Sigil Grips is in many ways exactly what you would expect, if you happen to expect a dryly stylized monograph briefly elaborating on a limited range of pitching techniques in order to more deeply expound on baseball's long and curious history of attempting, through various superstitions, to control the "countless uncertainties" that can affect one's success within the game, especially as a pitcher, the player "least able to control the outcome of self-effort" and therefore, apparently, the player most susceptible to indoctrination into Hermetic snake cults laboring since the dawn of the sport at unlocking the horrible powers latent within the delicate symbolic arrangement of its material aspects across the "nostalgia-hallucinated territory" of the ball field, where "the tightly coiled springs wedged beneath the underbelly of the baseball process" entwine a broad-ranging network of conspiratorial elements involving Theosophical Mysticism, animal sacrifice, possession, Tom Seaver, hacked television frequencies, magical illusions, and Spalding Sports Equipment. I know I sure did. -- Josef Kaplan
