Fathom

Poetry. "What good is poetry at a time like this?" Andrew Joron asks at the start of his book of poetry. "A kind of topological fold or failure (called a 'catastrophe' in mathematics) precedes the emergence- constitutes the emergency- of the New. If poetry 'makes language new,' then it must be defined as the translation of emergency. Even politically engaged poetry represents (translates) the motion of social change more than it does the facts of social change"-FATHOM.
