Lyric Examination

Lyric Examination, by Jack Morillo, deconstructs the exam, misappropriating it for poetic means. The invitation is to undermine the prosaic, linear and logical procedure of the exam by instead using it as a found-language resource to associatively write and arrange poetry. The exam's misuse becomes one assertion of opting out of the exam and the test-taker's objectification in favor of recovering one's poetic subjecthood.
