Nonstop Pop is the third chapbook in the 2012-2013 series from Bloof Books. Each chapbook in the series has been released in a limited edition of one hundred numbered copies, followed by a digital release.
Klaver samples movie dialogue, invents new lyrics for her favorite band, recalls a blog post by Eileen Myles, rewrites the dictionary a few times, plays Slip 'N Slide with America, cheekily appropriates testimonials for a popular self-help book, and expresses a few feelings by way of their equivalent b®and names for maximal market penetration in these 22 pop-influenced poems.
The design concept of Nonstop Pop is reminscent of a pop album or CD, in a square shape, with full-color ink jet cover and a snippet of the lyrics on the back. The run of 100 copies was hand-sewn in natural twine.
Becca Klaver is the author of the poetry collection LA Liminal (Kore Press, 2010) and several chapbooks. She is a PhD student in English at Rutgers University and lives in Brooklyn, NY.
