LiteraryCountercultures
Counterculture: a
movement or culture that is in an undying process to withdraw energy from the old system and use it to reshape society and the world; a culture that makes a frontal challenge to the dominant system.
(John D. Curl, Hippie and Memoirist)
“Hysterical Realism
is a painfully accurate term for
the sort of overblown,
manic prose...these are
hysterical times.”
–Zadie Smith
Spoken Word
“They were digging
a new foundation in Manhattan
and they discovered a slave cemetery there.
May their souls rest easy
now that lynching is frowned upon
and we’ve moved on
to the electric chair…” –Ani Difranco
“Why is it so lonely
in between boy and a
girl
they’re so glued down
in this world
and what it means
I’m trans alla that
gender I’m a bender
bye bi girl.”
–Animal Prufrock
