In “List Full,” Bart Plantenga lays his life bare with a gargantuan compendium of lists. These include lists of lusts, his mother’s favorite candies, things to do in Albany, books to read, absurd sayings from Morgan Stanley employees, yodelers’ nicknames, crazy Corona cures, random headlines, the weird last meals of Death Row prisoners, drugs taken, car colors, and even the items the author delivered during his days as a foot messenger in NYC. If you have a list of must-have books, be sure to put this at the top. If not, start one. Su Byron is a poet living in Sarasota, Florida. She works as a freelance writer and editor to earn her daily dose of wine and bread. subyronenterprises.com By turns profound, hilarious and miraculously present in the simplicity of his obsession, bart plantenga has created a tome for temporal awareness. List Full is a conjured invocation to write about the small, to magnify the ways we see our lives by forming sense of detritus. Taking surrealist a-realism out of the everyday cobwebs, like a noir poet detective wrapped-in-facts, narratives of reductivist economy embody new codes. The form is a gauntlet for mantra junkies—taking the experiential shifting of one viewpoint, line by line, in a Boschian accumulation of perspectives towards a new vanishing point—we arrive beyond the starting point, transmuted by a cosmic infinitude that reveals with every warp, every entry. Near-death incidents are knifed, parsed, listed for our reading pleasure, followed by natal contractions, carefully timed. The construction of a life through the listing of its construction, an invitation to the mirror of arrangements we invent. Beautifully formatted for easy listening, I mean listing, List Full is a brilliantly conceived artifact for the human unveiling of what life has to offer, one list at a time.
