Sacred anarchy! by László Aranyi

Advance Praise

László Aranyi tells us that “the standard becomes obsolete within moments,” and maybe we all sense this fact all the time, but Aranyi’s poems, visual and textual, are all about jarring us out of the ordinary sense of things toward something beyond… I do not know exactly… beyond the beyond, I suppose, someplace where we begin to grasp that “the extraordinary is eternal.” If there is anything excessive about Aranyi’s poetry it is an excess of passion that is always just beyond the grasp of language and images. These poems are like hopping a train. Once you are on, you better hold on because you are on for the duration. Remember that the sacred cuts two ways. It is the blessed and the divine, and it is the cursed and defiled. Sacred Anarchy is quite prepared to take you through both. I loved this collection.

I adore László Aranyi’s newest text. Sacred anarchy! reminds me of some of the most important, and simultaneously the darkest parts of my life. It’s expecting darkness is cleansing, a bubble bath of the mercurial wrath of existence.

In Laszlo’s text, he positions himself between being a post-internet Burroughs and a digital artist Bataille. In reading it, I am almost angry at the world that this book isn’t replacing every Malcolm Gladwell book at Hudson News locations across the country.
