RESIDUAL NEIGHBORS
J Parker Marvin continues his mind-breaking ποίησις in this sequence mapping quotidian turmoil. Across a system loosely oriented upon procedure and the words “SLOWLY / APART / FALLING” readers encounter a world rended from its charm. and illusion. Here, something of the heard, hidden, truth of our happening occurs.
Brenda Iijima has written of Marvin’s work that it “openly shares with the reader the primacy of the encounter.” Thom Eichelberger-Young described its role as “intimate, startling, disturbing record.” This work is meant to enact a transformation of our perceptions.
Of this project, Corey Qureshi writes:
In J Parker Marvin's Residual Neighbors, we as the readers are invited to consider some near-inert aspects of the social and physical worlds humans inhabit. Refreshingly un-urban, the cyclical nature of ritualized life is pungent with intangible (yet identifiable) settings and sorts of relationships. Marvin rambles through a set of personally constructed forms which stutter, repeat themselves, and offer various ways of being read to polyphonic effect. Perfect for a gloomy idyll, the melancholic poetics of Residual Neighbors leads one to consider the recurring subtexts of certain unspoken, quiet scenarios of living.
