Description:Poetry. Fiction. Philosophy. Katy Bohinc's DEAR ALAIN is a headlong, investigative imagined conversation between Poet and Philosopher (who happen to be of different genders). The poetics is a channeled response-imagining, sampling contemporary experimental poetics in long love poem set to the arc of the thought of Alain Badiou. (The philosopher is the "structure" after all.) DEAR ALAIN at once "a romance novel of a sort" and a metaphor for the relationship between contemporary poetry and philosophy. An infinite series of metas on metas, a place where "We meet at infinity." "She's terrific, and I don't even think very often about Alain Badiou--I'm just enjoying her exclamations, and her explanations of how poetry, for her, embodies intuition and provides evidence for embodied experience. It's a very good book and I'm going to quote it at people."--Stephen Burt "Surely, certainly, amusingly, thoroughly, this book is the perfect book in its loving address to that collapsed beast, philosophy. Between its slick covers, Katy gambols. She defies the parameters of the epistolary mini-drama her letters to Alain Badiou act out: a park, a platonic table, a parallelogram that meets at the horizon. 'How do you not wonder if the canon has made a mistake' she asks. The sheer vitality of her quest shows us that philosophy depends on being dead a little bit."--Lisa Robertson "This book should be banished!"--Slavoj ZižekWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
