Satellites of Damocles
Vincent Quatroche explicitly states that he does not possess an all-inclusive, glib sentence to describe his work. The self-described "underground Beat Matador from another planet" views his poetry through a mix of raw resistance, cultural excavation, and visceral impact.
He frames his creative process and the resulting work using several distinct concepts:
A Response to a Brutal System
Quatroche describes his poetry as something "wrenched away under duress from a brutal insane system". He sees his writing as a direct reaction against a postmodern society that has slipped away from its moral and rational anchors.
A Salvage Yard of Cultural Images
Rather than writing traditional verse, he builds his poems from a specific mixture of sources:
* Personal memory and internal dreams.
* The "vast over-flowing junk yard of images" generated by Madison Avenue and Hollywood.
* The "mutated desires" engineered by Corporate America.
A Visceral Experience for the Reader
He promises that reading his words will never be a "dry" experience. He explicitly notes that a walk through his poetry means you will get wet, dirty, warm, or cold. His goal is to make the audience laugh, cringe, shrug, or raise an eyebrow--ultimately striking a chord of absolute truth based on shared, sometimes painful, human experiences
