Full Description
The spare, bone-dry poems of Caleb Beckwith' s Political Subject are concerned with language' s utility, querying its potential to exercise any real resistance to its status within late capitalism, where identity is merely demographic and monetized, and where political solidarity can be a " shoreline or / shipwreck." How, the Political Subject wonders, do we really choose to use " nihilism' s/ escape hatch" while enjoying the " imperial air-conditioning?" — Divya Victor
