This is syncretism at its most perverse — idiosyncretism, if you will: the word made celluloid, the world herky-jerking past in a series of unplayable movie pitches. Our hero is an author with half a mind to leave us in the lurch.

              --Dave Bonta, Via Negativa

This collection could be Admussen’s challenge to directors, movie makers, and writers to be more creative, to imagine more ambitiously, to attempt to create the difficult, the impossible. Or it could just be Admussen’s experiment, composed for the sake of beauty—art for art’s sake. But regardless of the intention behind these poems, what is certain is their ability to transcend the normal in their content, form, and language. And in my opinion, if a group of filmmakers possessed the courage and talent to adapt one of these poems into a feature film, it would have the potential to be a hell of a movie.

Movie Plots by Nick Admussen is an experimental chapbook, both in content and format. It features a series of disorientingly absorbing prose poems that take thirty different film genres as points of departure for riffs on identity, the imagination, the meaning and coherency of life, and even more indefinable matters.
