Perelman concludes by discussing Grenier's recent boxes, which contain gnomic and often undecipherable sentences handwritten on separate slips of paper, graffiti-like scrawls that "dramatize in a particularly problematic way the tautological narrative by which the living hand' of the contingent author becomes imbued, after the fact, with eternal potency" (55). And in this sense, the relationship to Brathwaite's particular form of "nation-language" (95) is more tenuous than real. It's notable, in general, how Tiptree's PhD in psychology comes out in her frank portrayals of sexuality, in its many forms and dysfunctions. For one thing, "A Defense of Poetry" strikes me as a relatively minor Bernstein poem, a clever tour de force a la David Melnick.

Pearl takes Lexie back to her mom's house, and Mia cares for Lexie while keeping the abortion a secret from the rest of the Richardson family. It's been a long time since I came back to this old friend, and revisited the idea that we might be here on earth at someone else's sufferance. If this valiant effort on Grenier's behalf seems less than convincing, it may well be because these writings, like the dada experiments of Benson, Robinson, and Perelman himself, have a belated quality: from Russian futurism to Oulipo and concrete poetry, linguistic and figurative distortion of the kind described has made its mark.

The theme that runs through all these stories is how we might come to our ends, not through war, but a kind of deception, perhaps aided by our own desires.

By 2015, the war in Syria had been raging for almost five years and countless news broadcasts discussed the waves of refugees arriving in Europe, many of which portrayed the refugees as scary and a threat to our way of life.Indeed, the features Wendy Mulford lists in her afterword--the "open[ing] up" of "dosed systems of signification," the use of chance procedures and of "multi- and non-linear" verse forms, the play on "`master' texts," the disruption of "lexical tactics," and the interest in "cybertextual technologies" of the future (239)--are all aspects of "radical form" that have been discussed in earlier (and largely male) language anthologies.

In the early 1950s, both Sheldons joined the then-new CIA; he made it his career, but she resigned in 1955, went back to college, and earned a Ph. Slow Music may not have the fast pace of some stories, but it has a fully formed dream that has a twist that makes one think. She tracks down Mia's parents and learns that Pearl was conceived by Mia for a wealthy New York couple named Joseph and Madeline Ryan who were unable to have children of their own. But although this rather grandiose announcement was followed by fascinating distinctions between conventional narrative and the "new" situation in which "The paragraph organizes the sentences in fundamentally the same way a stanza does lines of verse.The story quality is rather erratic, and some parts are definitely dated (as would be expected with older sci-fi short stories).
