Description

These poems respond to some cryptic and dialectically wiredrawn passages from Theodor Adorno's book Minima Moralia with its highly condensed and, on occasion, strikingly poetic prose. Norris's topic-based verse sequence makes a case for the continuing pertinence of Critical Theory and for the power of poetry to engage and re-articulate that project in a range of creative-exploratory ways.

Author Biography:

Christopher Norris is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Cardiff. In his early career he taught English Literature, then moved to Philosophy via Literary Theory, and has now moved back in the direction of creative writing. He has published widely on the topic of deconstruction and is the author of more than thirty books on aspects of philosophy, literature, the history of ideas, and music. More recently he has turned to poetry in various genres, including that of philosophical verse. The present volume is a sequel to Hedgehogs: verse-reflections after Derrida, published by utopos in 2020. Among his other collections are The Cardinal's Dog, For the Tempus-Fugitives, The Matter of Rhyme, A Partial Truth, and Socrates at Verse. He has lectured and held visiting posts at universities around the world, and his books have been translated into many languages.
