June 4, 2003 -- BY now nearly everyone has heard of Daniel Libeskind, the Ground Zero architect - but few know the spiky-haired showman in cowboy boots has also published a book of poetry. Or something like it.

"The island's hysteria, language, is tied to the wanton burning of wealth. America turns its mass-produced urine antennae toward Caesar's arrogant ganglion, while history is advocated by utopians as a substitute for defecating."

Just an anal potty-mouth. He probably got in trouble when he wanted to write nasty diddies and draw silly, immature pictures on the bathroom walls; so he grew up stunted.

Funny, most people just like to joke about running with scissors or take the liberty of, just once, leaving the refrigerator open to "cool the whole countryside."

Must be some pretty good stuff - I didn't get or enjoy any of it...

[=Intervention=]

Typical postmodern meaningless tripe masquarading as art. And as usual, there's no attempt to grapple with or explain the big questions, which is why this book will vanish into the shadows of obscurity by the end of this week.

[Salman]

OK so the "poetry" third rate imitation Allen Ginzburg. It's not like that's how he earns his living.

[Spiff]

His architectural designs - to include the hideous new WTC design - are as bad or worse than his "poetry".

[L.N. Smithee]

* "Flying as experienced by any man is no more than an exercise of the third leg dreaming of crawling inside any woman's rib cage."

Holy cow. Even R. Crumb would think that's sick.

Holy cow. Even R. Crumb would think that's sick.

Hey, don't insult R. Crumb!! Some of the best day's of my youth were mis-spent reading Mr. Natural and Zap. Wish I still had my old comix. Probably would be worth a fortune.
