Canto 59

Abstract

Abstract:"Canto 59" is one of a collection of cantos that montage snippets of human and non-human activity to explore the effects of their adjacencies. A discontinuous continuity of events accrues significance to each, however mundane. And the neutrality with which events are all equally recorded gives way to the conviction that it is better that something (and thus everything) happened, rather than nothing. The cantos try to sustain that conviction as they further fragment to encounter evil.
