Satellites of Damocles

Vincent Quatroche explicitly states that he does not possess an all-inclusive, glib sentence to describe his work. The self-described "underground Beat Matador from another planet" views his poetry through a mix of raw resistance, cultural excavation, and visceral impact.He frames his creative process and the resulting work using several distinct concepts:A Response to a Brutal SystemQuatroche describes his poetry as something "wrenched away under duress from a brutal insane system". He sees his writing as a direct reaction against a postmodern society that has slipped away from its moral and rational anchors.A Salvage Yard of Cultural ImagesRather than writing traditional verse, he builds his poems from a specific mixture of sources:¿ Personal memory and internal dreams.¿ The "vast over-flowing junk yard of images" generated by Madison Avenue and Hollywood.¿ The "mutated desires" engineered by Corporate America.A Visceral Experience for the ReaderHe promises that reading his words will never be a "dry" experience. He explicitly notes that a walk through his poetry means you will get wet, dirty, warm, or cold. His goal is to make the audience laugh, cringe, shrug, or raise an eyebrow-ultimately striking a chord of absolute truth based on shared, sometimes painful, human experiences
