Arrieu-King, Cynthia: Futureless Languages
Futureless Languages by Cynthia Arrieu-King (Radiator Press, paperback) Publication Date: December 14, 2018 Publisher Marketing: "You have no future because you are in it. And so, what is now? What does it feel like, what is its real language? Is someone or something dying, going on, or gone? Cynthia Arrieu-King is a gifted, present poet, but I forget her, reading this (and it is hers) account of a world going more and more 'off'—off-base, out of kilter, not like some previously perceptible 'normal': it is real, and it is a dream. The souring world is a dream. But this is such an interesting book! The author is an honest tracker, so you never know, finally, what she'll say, in her own futureless language."—Alice Notley"FUTURELESS LANGUAGES is a manual for you written in the sound of the wind, in the language 'the air in the rock speaks.' A mixed tape of things 'beyond interpretation.' Manifesto made all of questions and a very listening speech: 'how did I get here? what should we do?'
