It is not analysis, it is not a critical discussion, it is not the application of a theory or ideology to texts, but a record of the conscious\/unconscious experiences of reading and engaging with that reading. It is an approach I have advocated for decades: that to \"understand\" a text, especially one that seems strange or unusual, the best approach is to pay attention to one's own reactions - somatic, linguistic, visual, etc. - and then to discuss and think about those reactions. Leftwich, in his many volumes and articles about new literatures, has developed this approach better than anyone I know, including myself. It is perfect for the kinds of experimental and avant-garde writing Leftwich both practices and reads, a kind of writing that is opaque to current trends of literary analysis. It is both a guide for potential readers, and an act of love and empathy toward the texts and toward the art of writing and reading them. As he says in a conversation about my chapbook \"shat on a tool\", \"Finding meaning isn't a matter of translating the poem into prose, it's a matter of paying attention to what the poet is doing with the language\". - John M. Bennett\n\u003cbr\u003e\nLeftwich's \"magnetic nerve valve of gravity,\" his \"cluster of dendrites thinking spacetime\" dismantles atoms' going-once-again-and-again \"cluster of observa\" to molecular rewriting's \"pulsing shifters\" for rerouting peptide sequences and reversing rivers, recombining a day's word orders per moments' quantum entanglements, \"counting the syllables one more time.\" Whether by \"glitched letterforms\" or \"paragraph iron,\" or whether it's by Leftwich \"anvil[ing] at least a few of his popcorn brutal,\" LUNIC PANZEMES revives the memor[ies] of \"unread conferences of songbirds. - John Crouse","brand":"Lulu.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53709099630934,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781304275639_1.jpg?v=1778871580","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/jim-leftwich-lunic-panzemes-9781304275639","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
