Reviews

Smailbegovic addresses the entwined relations between contemporary North American poetry and developments in philosophy, art, and science, arguing that each of these fields or practices address the same kinds of complexity in the world, a complexity that enables both language to emerge from the world (whether in human or animal form) and for materiality to complexify and elaborate itself chemically and evolutionarily. -- Elizabeth Grosz, author of <i>The Incorporeal: Ontology, Ethics, and the Limits of Materialism</i>
