Stephen Bett's new book of poetry, Extreme Positions, is based on a hilarious soft-porn spoof. Each poem begins with a simple blank-face, stark naked line drawing of boy & girl next door figures in utterly physically impossible sexual positions Accompanying the text are witty cultural or literary allusions, a calorie burn count for him her equipment required (deodorant, etc.), cautions & hazards (such as requiring a lawyer or chiropractor). In this volume, Bett is riffing on language itself. These humorous, self-referential poems are tied to the langue, the argot, not just comic satire. There s an effort at a more serious humour underlying cultural and philosophical issues that seem to plague us in our increasingly vapid monoculture.
