Shadow Evidence Intelligence

Poetry. Kristin Prevallet's SHADOW EVIDENCE INTELLIGENCE, the latest volume in the Factory School's Heretical Texts series, presents poems emerging from the shadows of both literary and recent political history into a light all their own. Composed of what the poet calls "formal disruptions" and "(dis)homages to form", these experimental mergers between visual and poetic forms are deeply engaged with contemporary political and social reality. Evoking Bahktin's idea of universal addressivity - "Each thinks that he or she is/ an independent entity, floating in a circular/ bubble high above the concerns of politics and/ economy.// No one can escape being implicated in the/ flow: this is the difficulty of poetry" - Prevallet shows us that at its finest, poetry is anything but escapist.Prevallet, Kristin is the author of 'Shadow Evidence Intelligence ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781600010477 and ISBN 1600010474.
