Renaissance Discothèque

By Rose Knapp

Renaissance Discotheque is a chaotic, Neo-Dadaist collection, yet is also a synchronized blending of the abstract, the mythological, and the every day. It was written almost entirely on psychedelics and dissociatives in Los Angeles, and the writing reflects the expanded openness, and embrace of the world of psychedelics and the alien, Other worldiness of dissociatives. There are also explorations of mental illness, transness, and race. When not on various drugs I was often floridly psychotic during the writing of Renaissance, and so these poems are heavily influenced by the fragmentation of the linear, rational mind when psychotic. This collection also holds often aggressively masculine energy that, since transitioning to a woman, I have shied away from.

Intro:

Renaissance Discothèque is a chaotic, Neo-Dadaist collection, yet it is also a synchronized blending of the abstract, the  mythological, and the every day. It was written almost entirely on psychedelics and dissociatives in Los Angeles, and the writing reflects the expanded openness, and embrace of the world of psychedelics and the alien, other worldliness of dissociatives. There are also explorations of mental illness, transness, and race. When not on various drugs I was often floridly psychotic during the writing of Renaissance, and so these poems are heavily influenced by the fragmentation of the linear, rational mind when psychotic. This collection also holds often aggressively masculine energy that, since transitioning to a woman, I have shied away from.
