It is not really a punitive poetics but rather, ‘a constant, experimental exercise of antagonism,’ a brutally disruptive ‘xenogenerosity’ (Harney \u0026amp; Moten).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a collection of many rotations, revolutions and revolts, from the lick of the cyclone to the whirl of a dervish; the flick of a dragon’s tail to the ultra-slow swirl of galaxies or precarious life circling the drain. Traversing metastable topologies of gender and race as complicitly mattered but also ‘out of control,’ Rimming the Event Horizon intra-venes in a universe(s) that must simultaneously avenge, and take revenge on itself. Looping the line between life and death, it dangles us over the edge headfirst, tongues out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Sabeen Chaudhry's Rimming the Event Horizon is an index of \"oracular horrors,\" both \"asymptomatic\" and \"vicious animal\". This is a work of devastation in the present but also \"one of many aftermaths.\" Chaudhry invites a reading of the poem as \"bruised verticality.\" A livid ghost shares space with wrecked daughters at the rim of a well. Is this the portal? \"LICK CYCLONE\" is the instruction. In this way, a reader's opacity weakens. There's nowhere not to look.\" -- Bhanu Kapil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Sabeen Chaudhry’s Rimming the Event Horizon reads like the liner notes to a new PAN record. Which is to say that this is word-sound-power emanating from inside a limestone cave where you can’t quite tell if the stalactites are dripping water or sweat. Chaudhry’s secret though is that this cave is no arid zone, no non-place. Instead, Rimming the Event Horizon contains enough of the historical mess of empire, nation and memory to let us know.\" that this brilliant poet is ‘screaming through the flag’. – Dhanveer Singh Brar (writer, research, teacher \/ member of Le Mardi Gras Listening Collective \u0026amp; Lovers Discourse)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Fans Of: Momtaza Mehri, Jen Calleja, Lola Olufemi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41036697829473,"sku":"9781739393946","price":11.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_28450297.jpg?v=1722597606","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781739393946-rimming-the-event-horizon","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
