“Francesco Levato reveals the sinister undertow of the bureaucratic language in the American state’s enforcement codes. This is dystopian poetry, enmeshed with verbal machines of terror. Arsenal/Sin Documentos enacts a Promethium struggle to break free.”
-Charles Bernstein, author of Near/Miss
“Here is the music saved from the savagery of “documentos.” Unearthing the lyric voice in the machinery of the state, from policies and protocols, Levato shows us that what is withheld is what is truly alive, the silence breathes.”
-Ilya Kaminsky, author of Deaf Republic
“Francesco Levato’s Arsenal/Sin Documentos is a courageous book. More importantly, it is a necessary book. Every discourse is constructed with an intention, and this type of poetry demands a ruthless, fearless deconstruction of that discourse in order to reveal the truth.”
-Gabino Iglesias, author of Zero Saints and Coyote Songs
