Win These Posters and Other Unrelated Prizes Inside opens with a
foreword, an envoi laying out the concerns of the book. The book's
rhythmic geography tracks a shadow epic with its "1400 Facts,"
aspects of feats, or anti-feats, events on the ground, but the
hero/anti-hero is "you" & "I" & "we" and the narrative is
"splinters of stars." Fact/fiction, the West/Middle East,
present/past, surface/depths, sound/silence-- antinomies or
continua? "More Facts" marks the question, "When// does the past/
begin?" What does it mean, "to be at war"? How do we measure agency
or time? Compression, compassion, rigor, reduction, focus. By means
of posters, messages, notices, announcements and images. The poems,
linked to one another by motion, emotion, image, diction, consider
questions & "facts" - what are facts? "It is the simple fact of
one's own existence as possibility or potentiality." Giorgio
Agamben, The Coming Community Ch.11] What are dreams? The book
closes with "If I'm Asleep" --don't wake me.
