"Beyond brilliant, The Cow is a manifesto of the paradoxical girl-state in which disappearance beckons through presence."Chris KrausThis text is filthy and fertilized, filling and emptying, filling and emptying, atrocious and politic with meaning. The Cow is a mother, a lover, and a murdered lump of meat, rendered in the strongest of languages. "I cannot count the altering that happens in the very large rooms that are the guts of her.To call Ariana Reines poetry scatological doesnt even scratch the surface. I COULD BE A DIAPER FOR THE DAYS RESIDUALS, she writes, and, She clasped the event to her and proceeded. Fucked her steaming/ eyehole and ended it. The Cow is a body in the way that texts are bodied-Are you so intelligent your body doesnt have you in it.-but not in the way that allows the text to become desensitized, depersonalized, sterilized. Instead this text is filthy and fertilized, filling and emptying, filling and emptying, atrocious and politic with meaning. The Cow is a mother, a lover, and a murdered lump of meat, rendered in the strongest of languages. I cannot count the altering that happens in the very large rooms that are the guts of her.
