The Democracy of Objects is nearly complete now. I’m working on chapter 6 at the moment, and then just have the conclusion and intro to write. Word has it that I should be receiving the proofs for The Speculative Turn in a week or so, so that shouldn’t be too long before reaching print as well.

No shit! This is really good news for me, living on 798 a month Soc Sec. I have so many poems that are riffs off your posts. Right up there with CA Conrad.

“Recorded bells are not real

…
“the mocking bird copies
no one
everything it sings
it makes its own”
I read (and write) poems as a mode of thought.
I read philosophy as a mode of poetry.
I taste sound. I see touch.
Synesthesia rules!
