A loose set of blogbooks, each a series of considerations on poetry and poetics, working progressively past the concerns of the Language and post-Language poets and their devolution into aestheticisms. "Post-language" in its engagement with the extra-linguistic concerns of both Tibetan and Euro-American philosophies, it also simply posts language to work toward the form of a practice of anti-aesthetics as an answer to contemporary poetic and political theory. It is an exercise book.

No, Object #2
The Law is drawn up actually as a dis-alienation device where the subject reaches for the Real and cannot reach its object, so the perverse need to be told "no" arises (I'm paraphrasing Zizek in that "know not" book, 265). The breaker for this is the choice between le père ou le pire (Lacan's pun), the fatherly Law or the worst possibility: desire's impasse, the inattainability of the object (Zizek's page 267).
