10 poems, video stills and video published in Var 2(x)

January 6, 2026–Today, a portfolio of my video and text work was published in Var 2(x), an online literary journal for extreme experimentation. Included are 5 video stills with asemic language elements pulled from the raw footage for my music video “New Brain Imprint,” as well as a link to the source video on YouTube. The main feature is a selection of 10 text pieces: “dole plot,” “badge of dolor,” “Arriba malfunction,” “regular quill,” “scrap grind hotel,” “taps patent fait enter,” “wailing watcher weight,” “game life atoll,” “change delinquent,” and “anti-rule characterized.”

The editors put all this under the headline “The Glitch Poetics of Jeff Bagato,” which seems a pretty good descriptor of this period of my written work. I’ll have to start using that tag myself!
