Introduction: how poems think
This working against the grain
Fortunately, the marks on the page are alien
On rhyme
On apophatic poetics (I): "teach me that nothing"
On apophatic poetics (II): varieties of absence
The curious persistence: techn?
Simultaneities: the bow, the lyre, the loom
Onyx-eyed odalisques
"Had I a hundred mouths, a hundred tongues"
Afterword: a demonstration.
