Notes
  • "[A]ssembled at UDP in an edition of 500."--Colophon.
  • Regarding "The Difficult Poem," Charles Bernstein has written that it is "unsuitable for use in love letters." Judah Rubin's Phrenologue is just such a "difficult" poem, frustrating our attempts to discern the poem's summary sense, on the scale of the sentence and beyond. By way of explanation, the author writes, "Phrenologue: to extent--of interior--space--in a drift, spatialized timing with-in a field of language--without--dimensional apprehension belies--philologic--all--biologic / historical--such that--heat--propensity of measurement--fuses where the thorax and abdomen meet--of the head removed, or not yet come into measurement and of movement within the extra-spacial - motion, callibrated intersection of the applicant field of decay." --Publisher's website.
