Night Moves Paperback – February 12, 2013

3.9 out of 5 stars 4

Poetry. NIGHT MOVES is a collection of thoughts and conversations about Bob Seger's classic song of the same name, all culled from YouTube. Poignant, disturbing and incisive, the collection deepens and takes on a cultural significance beyond the initial artistic impetus. A collaboration is created—twisting through the nostalgia for youth and the collective ownership of pop music, the book becomes a moving document of how strangers communicate about art, and what the song and the sentiment of the song means to different people.

"This is a sad and powerful book of love poems. Stephanie Barber understands how things are supposed to work and recognizes that they are broken, and NIGHT MOVES is a screenshot for the help desk in the sky. It's a conceptual ode to Internet philosophy, solidifying the transient nature of online conversation."—Kenneth Goldsmith

"Here comes everybody, and they've sure got a lot to say about Bob Seger's 1976 song 'Night Moves.' Lifted whole from YouTube user comments, this book unfurls like a readymade litany of misspelled youth."—Jeanne Liotta

When your professor makes you buy this book, but it's literally Youtube comments copy pasted into poetry. RIP

it takes familiarity with the flarf to appreciate it. however, if you can, its actually kind of funny. I especially love the banter with that guy who hates Bob Seger. I like to imagine being the person skimming through those comments .
