<h3><em>Dark Becomings</em><br />Artan Sadiku and Stanimir Panayotov</h3>
<p>A book of collaborative poetry written by two friends, poets, and theoreticians, <em>Dark Becomings</em> is created in the process of frantic engagement with mutual editing, co-writing, and puncturing the know-hows of language. An experiment in dissolving the boundaries of poetic delineation while sustaining a consolidated aesthetic vision based on the tradition of the poetics and philosophy of “excess”. Propounding a poetic philosophy of becoming, the core of which is darkness itself. Four quadruple “becomings,” each of them an octagon of poems, walk the spaces of darkness itself between Time and Destruction, Affect and Failure, Kink and Crash, Finality and Despair. These verses implode from within the eerily poetic stories of personal and collective dis/affection in the age of rotting Capital, variously pointing to shared theoretical but aesthetically indexed escape routes. Written in the collective quagmire of poetry, poetics, the aesthetics of failure, self-/destruction, and Bataillian excess, <em>Dark Becomings</em> is nothing less than a contemporary primer of what it means today to innovate the poetic form via theoretical and practical collaboration and dedication – and relentlessly radicalizing the very notion of a “poem.”</p>
