Reverse engineering the word, meme splicing, morpheme replacement therapy,
phonetic modifications: these are some of the techniques in play throughout
Reading the Bible Backwards, the lyrical thought experiments that make up this
eagerly anticipated new collection of poems by Robert Priest. By throwing the
Bible and other cultural narratives on the turntable and spinning them
backwards, Priest unleashes surprisingly new but strangely familiar music and
meaning. Whether the movements are sideways, inverted, or omni-directional,
his satire has never been sharper - or darker. Ultimately, though, Priest's
lyric voice has never been more finely tuned or elegant, especially in the
wonderfully groundbreaking "I Love You Forwards" poems that afford this book
its remarkable balance.
