Poetry. Across a series of sixty-four poems, each titled with the eponymous refrain, I WANT SOMETHING OTHER THAN TIME worries the problem of self-identicality--the distance between the self and the self that recognizes the self--into the socio-political sphere as a problem of temporality, as the work of our shared subjects in perceiving and projecting pasts, futures, presents.
Biographies of modern Alaskans who are finding new challenges, yet trying to reach back into the past and preserve it.
Poetry. Literary Nonfiction. In classical rabbinic literature the unpronounceable name of God produces and sacralizes a host of synonyms around what can't be said. RESIDUAL SYNONYMS FOR THE NAME OF GOD performs the proliferation of language and culture in our late capitalist moment as a residual structure of a religious past. Lewis Freedman has heretically rewritten the work of his ancestors to create an annotated index of this inherited structure, in which our contemporary drive for total finitude profanes the infinite primarily by being indistinguishable from it.
