This work is informed by our sense that the times call for minimalist
thinking concerning our ontological truth, the minimal truth of an absolute criminal being. For some time now, we (of the West / Europeans) are being called upon to give a frank account of ourselves by those who already know us infinitely more intensely than we may know ourselves, namely the sovereign peoples whose lands we continue to occupy. For the occupiers, to be as (self-)knowing through and in response this call is to receive the imperative, ‘Think with your being as fully exposed to our being.’ It is fundamentally to face the question, ‘You are the bearers of criminal being. Who are you?’ The book invites the reader to respond to this question by following the colonizing movement of modern western proprietary being and exposing the concealment of its criminality.

These short poems are informed by a sense of a devastation in that the human face has been wiped from its places of emergence in history and love. They seek to acknowledge the depth of the catastrophe by re-posing the questions of language’s relationship, as memory and vision, to lost ideals and their deceased martyrs. This vein pursuit takes shape with rhythms seeking to highlight the erotic substrate of communication itself, through disruption of an ego-centric logic that involves whispering to dead words in the hope of making them speak to language. The mystery of language cannot be detected in its words.
