What if the cinema of the present were a Möbius strip of language, a
montage of statements and questions sutured together and gradually
accumulating colour? Would the seams afford a new sensibility around
the pronoun ‘you’? Would the precise words of philosophy, fashion,
books, architecture and history animate a new vision, gestural and
oblique? Is the kinetic pronoun cinema? These and other questions are
answered in the new long poem from acclaimed poet and essayist Lisa
Robertson. The book is available with four different back covers,
designed by artists Hadley + Maxwell. Praise for Lisa Robertson:
'Robertson proves hard to explain but easy to enjoy. . . . Dauntlessly
and resourcefully intellectual, Robertson can also be playful or
blunt. . . . She wields languageexpertly, even beautifully.' —The
New York Times
