Excellent introductory essay on J. H. Prynne by David Grundy, which pinpoints better than anything else I’ve read the centrality of contradiction to his poetry. www.poetryfoundation.org/articles/182...

My new essay—on prosopopoeia, late liberalism, nuclear colonialism and imperialism, and sexual difference—is out in the Sept. issue of @differences.bsky.social. With readings of Albert Serra's Pacifiction, Anohni's Hopelessness, and an ecodrama by Ontroerend Goed. A taste of the big-book-to-come.

A problem with a lot of Dusselians (if not Dussel) is that in their rejection of Athens and Rome, they urge an embrace of Jerusalem (Christianity, Hebrew bible, even, it seems, Akhenaten) which ignores how constitutive these three pillars are in the construction of their own critiques.
