From Plastic Tub

A visual presentation of the poetic achievments of the Tampa School, Mom Jokes gathered together the work of Jorge Suarez, Alexandre Dacusse and Simone Kepler, vaporically presented dutifully by Steven Adkins, Tim Wilson and Giancarlo Rendina. The material presented consisted largely of scraps, intermittent messaging, poetical asides and elaborate scrapbook entries dating from the early 1990's and covering the period of activity known to scholars as The Second Advance.
