POEM AT THE GOING RATE

by RM Haines

This collection is both an homage to the punk band the Minutemen and a poetic essay on art, eternity, and capitalism. Written in late summer of 2023, the voice inhabits a kind of collective personality, blending Minutemen lyrics and lore, the poet’s own fascinations, and various psychic scraps found along the way. The style is both aphoristic and propulsive, creating a montage of elastic, end-stopped lines. Whether you know the band’s music or not, these poems are for you: they are here to collide against impediments and amplify the ecstatic noise of life. (16 pp., released on 3.18.24)
