The Kindness Colder Than the Elements

The Kindness Colder Than the Elements Synopsis

With wit and cunning, Noble's poems insinuate themselves into themediations of "we use language" / "language usesus," into the objectification of "mind," into thestruggles and cracking of systems. Cuing on Hegel's epochalrevitalization of the syllogism, they begin withsentences-cum-arguments that issue from an everyman's intentionsand insights, playing into and baiting the "sociality ofreason." In the cut-up sentences then come the restless,accelerated themes—themes that exist only in their variations,ghosting into one another like the dusk and the dawn in a winging,distended now.
