The text of this book is partly taken from Allen Ginsberg poem "HUM BOM!"
The first and second part of the poem was written in the 70s, during the period of systematic bombings in Vietnam. The third part was written much later - in 1991, in connection with the situation in Iraq. Such incompleteness, an open narrative of the text, makes it possible to interpret this poem again .
This is a satirical parody of political statement disguised as simplistic child-like patter, an onomatopoedic poem of rhythm and repetition. The series of question and exclamation marks becomes an interlocutory technique its rhetorical ranting simulating tit for tat blame,self denial and justification of aggression
I made this book for couple months, text was handwritten with ink, symbols printed in linocut technique.
Edition of five copies.
