Agonist by U.H Dematagoda
Published May 2024
A volume of experimental prose/poetry written about, and by, the internet:“A feverish confrontation with the internet as digital palimpsest, a fragmented discourse upon its banal diabolical passions; hatred, humour, cruelty, obscenity, lust and poetry - often absurd, sometimes sublime. AGONIST speaks to the maddening anomie of the technological present, teetering on the spectral boundary between tedium and inspiration, image and text, contingent and absolute…framed by our tenuous presence against the all-encompassing void.”Cover Art: Abstract Composition, 1921 by Wyndham Lewis.©️Wyndham Lewis Memorial Trust.
