New Poetry From Rob Halpern
October 1, 2017 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm UTC+0
Rob Halpern will read from his new book of poetry Touching Voids in Sense which
“enters regions of the self that existing regimes of sense, visible, tactile, and verbal
keep hidden. What’s at stake is love, care and the human body, an abyss at which
loving care of another’s body is the most explosive of concerns. The requirement
is radical critique of the logics of meaning. Touching holes in sense is a reflection
on the deeper sources of Halpern’s previous books and an investigation of how
an end to mourning requires nothing less than a different ontology of life and death.”
– William Rowe
