Divya Victor | Hellocasts by Charles Reznikoff by Divya Victor by Vanessa Place | Factory Series | 2010

There is no genius like the original genius, no caste like the hallow.

Steven Zultanski | Pad | Make Now | 2010

Le dick n’existe pas—donc, ceci n’est pas un dick.

Heimrad Bäcker | Transcript | Dalkey Archive | 2009

The article proposes that transcript should be considered not only as a documentary work but also as a work determined by several forms of incompleteness, and it shows how the aestheticizing aspects of Bäcker’s text repeat or quote National Socialism’s will to aestheticize.

James Wagner | Geisttraum | Esther Press | 2010

Language as solid and fearsome as the religious American Middle West: plain, transparent and similarly constituent of its own allegorical surface.

Gary Barwin | Servants of Dust | No Press | 2010

The punctuation (only) of Sonnets 1 through 20, rendered spatially (O, Mallarmé!) (O, darling buds of May!)

Robert Fitterman, ed. | Collective Task | Patrick Lovelace Editions | 2010

“I would argue that a poet who has a project that he can lucidly discuss is a pretty boring poet, at best. I would argue that a poet with a project might not be a poet at all. Or at least a baby poet, not a great one…. I would argue that a poet who says he has a project probably has no sense of the idea of habitus and its intersection with the act of creation. Yeah. I think the term ‘project’ has nothing to do with poetry.”

After all, what could be funnier than the slapstick of perpetual internecine warfare?

Jacques Lacan | The Ego in Freud’s Theory and in the Technique of Psychoanalysis, 1954-1955 (Book II) (The Seminar of Jacques Lacan) | Norton | 1991

No self! Only other!

Hanna Darboven | Die Geflügelte Erde Requiem | Edition Cantz | 1991

While “history” takes place even without human involvement, progressing with time (“History takes place on its own, that is historical time”), both “intellectual” and “technical” history hinge, according to Hanne Darboven, “on what the person has done” (page 26). In this way the two mutually influence one another.

Must be read sequentially to be read in the uncanny.

Eugene Delacroix | The Journal of Eugene Delacroix | Phaidon | 2006

“We are making rapid strides towards that happy time when space will have been abolished; but they will never abolish boredom, especially when you consider the ever-increasing need for some occupation to fill in our time, part of which, at least, used to be spent in travelling.”
