Lit Brut

Possibly the first literary movement to be launched via MySpace:

“BRUTALISTS is a movement of new writers and poets. Founded by Adelle Stripe, Ben Myers and Tony O’Neill in the long hot summer of 2006, the BRUTALISTS are young, hungry and rejected by the mainstream. We take inspiration from writing and music that is raw, brutal, pounds the senses, comes from the heart. We create the culture we deserve. We are the BRUTALISTS. Fuck you.”
