10 West: Stunning Collection of Full Spectrum Art & Poetry Creates New Crisis in Words, Exposing Los Angeles’ Powerful New Language. There is no archetype for what I do. There are so many America’s & Los Angeles is the city at the end of the world. I use the signs of our culture but my writing leads you somewhere else. This updated language is not a mirror of American society. It is a spectacle. I write to tell us something that will save us from ourselves. The poems in 10west are the deepest darkest secrets that let us know we’re not alone. 10west bridges the gaps between working-class & freedom- intellectualism & the illusions of realism. The art of 10west is to say what can’t be said.
