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
