The Humming Prole by Brad Hamers
An introduction by jdaugh

Meta4etry was the first book published by Brad Hamers in the year 2000. While it is the author's least favorite offering, its title might be the most apt and illuminating description of the writing you are about to consume. The communiques of Brad Hamers break from patterns of modern language in that they refuse the flag and staff of English rules or fad. He confiscates the rules of the language and breaks them to use as weapon. These poems are the washrag and loofa for the caged up soul. Some are the castille, some are the steel wool and 20 grit. This collection spans nearly 15 years of writing; a selection of poems that feeds the humming prole, but only makes them louder. Read it loud aloud.
