Description
Rather than making "something" out of "nothing," what follows is an endeavor to express the potential of language and thought to encounter what is infinitely beyond both yet to be imagined. In The Nothing That Is, Johanna Skibsrud gathers essays about the very concept of "nothing." Addressing a broad range of topics-including false atrocity tales, so-called fake news, high-wire acts, and telepathy, as well as responses to works by John Ashbery, Virginia Woolf, Anne Carson, and more-these essays seek to decentre our relationship to both the "givenness" of history and to a predictive or probable model of the future. The Nothing That Is explores ways in which poetic language can activate the possibilities replete within our every moment. Skibsrud reveals that within every encounter between a speaking "I" and what exceeds subjectivity, there is a listening "Other," be it community or the objective world.
