Through this vision of experimental writing, he shakes up received ideas of what poems ought to be like. In this full-length work of prose and poetry, I have sought to operationalise this philosophy of l'écriture (also with a tip of the beret to Jacques Derrida), juxtaposing metafiction texts with prose poems, haikus and shorter verse. As for Rothenberg, my own practice as a philosopher brings me to seek out and to create texts which bear a relation to the complex human condition as a deeper presence restructuring the poem and poetics. In our times of contemporary crisis, it is hoped that the writing of poetry and of poetics, as a kind of minor literature, might serve and supplicate as a surprisingly robust resource contra the banality of mainstream culture (whether Spotify, FB or worse). I have also included a recent critical text as Preface, which draws out the genealogy of an ethical and aesthetic counter-culture all the way from the ancient culture of Bashō to our current malaise. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51378781159647,"sku":"9781958661161","price":20.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/sSCJQmeELD9781958661161.webp?v=1789261738"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/jones-irwin.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
