The opaque surfaces of Daniel Davidson's Product reflect darkly, sardonically, the redundancy of the thing itself -- that object which is invisible on account of its ubiquity. The object is the language of advertising and marketing, which invents and maintains desire. Its effect would be total consummation: 'Attention, density, tension, identity, identical location, merged through possession.' The 'product' is largely fantasy; Product is an intricately sustained revelation and critique of the absurdity of this condition. --Beverly Dahlen. This is really a remarkable work, in its integration of promotion and the thing itself, presentation and experience, critique and surrender. Daunting at all points, and worth sustaining one's resistance to, to acknowledge the recurrence in address of expectancy, qualms, stamina and frustration. It reels into a central position in postmodernity in art practice, like Richard Prince's 'Why I Go to the Movies Alone, ' a site where oil meets water, where crisis is a way of life. --Steve Benson. What Dos Passos did for USA, Daniel Davidson does here for the product. But his is not a subject-centered process. The lines and forms used in this poem weave a crazy quilt. Barn Raising, Drunkard's Path, Log Cabin, Trip Around the World, Lightning Streak, Courthouse Steps, NInepatch. Davidson's writing is so confident it's tentative, so cold it burns. --Kevin Killian.
