This debut poetry book reclaims the language of T-shirts as found poetry, capturing the collisions and lyricism of global clothing culture. Endless Garment is an unfurling poem stitched together from text printed on found T-shirts. Drawn from a decade-long archival project by the artist collective Shanzhai Lyric, this 147-page collection is a testament to their transcription of hundreds of mass-produced garments all over the world. From “CHANEL COCO CHRISTIAN DIOP” to “CHOP YOUR OWN / WOOD / AND IT W LL WARM YOU,” these linguistic aberrations reveal the chaos of the garment industry as it moves through bootleg economies.
