It is hard to name the various crises of the present to which theory promises to attune. The worlds of others are incoherent. Thought is immanent to material processes and their social fragmentations. I am interested in how sensemaking is articulated with and beyond language. My compositional poetics aims to find forms (or antiforms?) that undo its concepts. This is a practice of precision as much as futility. My writing tends to refuse analytical closure. Thus this website is not an archive of finished works, but a partial record of processes and iterations of thought that occasionally cohere into form.
