Spuyten Duyvil, January 2022

In these inventive Acts, “Light cannot keep quiet” because it cannot stop bouncing off language, trying to track a body in motion in relation to its present and past. What is the ancestry words seek? This book reads like a kaleidoscopic memory tool that doesn’t solve the mystery but allows us to handle it with skill, to cut, to dwell.
