"It–subject" published by Jacket2.org

I'm very happy to say that last week my long poem "It–subject" (2018) was published in the poetry and poetics journal Jacket2. It appears in a feature called "Extreme texts," curated and edited by Divya Victor.

The introduction to my piece and a link to download it as a PDF, appear here: http://jacket2.org/poems/it-subject.

From my intro:
"The unpredictable repetition creates a stuttering effect that disrupts traditional reading technique by explicating nonconsensual syntax. My desire while composing 'It—subject' was that it become possible for me to read through or across these four essays simultaneously, in order that the affect I mention above become apparent [...] Everything contained by 'It—subject' is latent in the original source — what is most interesting to me is how the results of this procedure make a subtext (subjectivity) manifest that 'belongs' to no one. [...] What is 'extreme' within such a neurotic system is precisely how it could be apprehended as a mild symptom and not the defining paradigm of writing."
