Adler allows several Hoelderlins to appear: a ploughman cutting through the conceptual foundations of the West; a deeper thinker than any Plato or Marx of the nature and consistency of political renewal; a gardener. A poet, too. But poetry's modes-giving, measuring, streaming, interrupting-must first find their essence, shared with politics, in dance. To grasp this we must deform our thinking, even practice a slash-and-burn agriculture of the mind. Adler guides us through wide fields, fields of rock and ossification, to ripe banks of open receptivity. . . . Truth is not a stable correspondence but an echo in gesture, a hyperbolic fit, a flare of reconnaissance. This is what Adler gives us to think on the deepest level-a gift that, like a river, overflows itself. -- Simon Horn * German Quarterly *
