Poetry. "Loitersack" is 17th century slang for a lay-abed, a lazybones. In his new book LOITERSACK, Donato Mancini (YOU MUST WORK HARDER TO WRITE POETRY OF EXCELLENCE, Bookthug, 2012) extends his inquiry of Canadian poetry and poetics in the form of a book that contains poetry, poetics, theory, theory theatre, and laugh particles. In some senses a commonplace book--a scrapbook of borrowed quotations--LOITERSACK is the poet's personal book of critical reflections, describing a broad topography of poetic knowledge.
