A collaboration of visual art and poetry inspired by Funkadelic’s
classic albums Standing on the Verge of Getting It On and Maggot
Brain. Adrian Matejka's (Pulitzer Prize finalist in poetry for The
Big Smoke) new book Standing On the Verge & Maggot Brain is a
chorus of poems and visual art that is psychedelic and bright, full
of quarter notes disguised as words. The poems bend like a solo
bends the big ideas of Funkadelic’s glitter and unrepentant funk.
The colletion also bends the design of books themselves. Standing
On the Verge & Maggot Brain is more accurately described as a
double-chapbook, featuring two front covers and no back cover.
Essentially, it is a two-in-one book. For the Standing On the Verge
section of the two chaps, sculptor and artist Kevin Neireiter
translates music into stained glass graffiti in honor of the
landmark record. For Maggot Brain, Nicholas Galanin’s (also front
man of the Sub Pop band Ya Tseen) art creates musical compositions
from monochromatics in response to the quintessential album.
Matejka's collection of poems is synesthesia for the ear and
alchemy for the eyes and heart. Standing On the Verge & Maggot
Brain is both a tribute to the iconic band Funkadelic and deep
introspection of the contrasts in poet Matejka's celebrant hips and
maggot brain. Just as the album Standing on the Verge of Getting It
On is a celebration of energy and action, Maggot Brain is a place
of deep sorrow. Matejka explores both the light and dark within the
original visual art by Kevin Neireiter and Nicholas Galanin,
reflecting the poet's radiances and shadows.
