| Description: |
This book works along a gauge, a valency, between language as communication of information, to language as matter, as a thing. The book focusses on the processes of language - sound, rhythm, shape and design. Meaning has receded behind the material and play of language. |
| Synopsis: |
Reverdy Road is a book of poems celebrating the aleatory. They are various responses to their now. Each poem is an open gift, a happy thing in the world - there's plenty of time to be depressed later on. The book is in three parts divided by treatment rather than matter. But it is the matter of words that is the very subject, and how they signify that matters most. There is no discernable progress, more a marking of time, place, gesture, answering questions through their own musculature. They have embarked on no journey, but they seem to be heading to another destination from a location we can't know. We are getting there, however. Like Orpheus there is no looking back. Making the world a better place is their business and purpose, they are friendly and want to talk to you. They won't hurt. They ask very different questions from journalists, but they love journalists. The body's place is the question they ask and answer they are giving - how do bodies move and remove themselves. The engine is a black Moleskine notebook. Where they enter life. As Smith says, "All my life they lived under my skin, now they enter your circulation." |
