(If you have ever quit an imaginary job over an imaginary paycut,
mistakenly taken your house’s thermostat for a dial
with which to focus the windows,
writen a play about the special relationship that blooms
when a withdrawn honors student is assigned to tutor
the school’s basketball star,
fallen in love with the woman who plays the part
of your character’s wife and bears you a child
that can communicate with rust,
been deafened by the panopoly of voices in the classifieds,
…or know a place where you can get married at midnight,
then you know what I’m talking about)

Oystershells is the web space of Brandon Kreitler. I write in various contexts, primarily music criticism on experimental music and “literary” writing. I make music as/with Carillons. I am a graduate student at Columbia University and live in Brooklyn. Oystershells is about the avant garde, the synthesis of Marx and psychoanalysis, the critical perspective, language itself, maps, “feel good” journalism and praying for the troops.
