i'm trevor. i guess b/c of comic books.


attempt at jessea's assignment on Other Thing:

the other thing is thinking. poetry where the coordinates of intelligibility are topographically stretched, where they multiply, demultiply, reconfigure, and shift seismically in mostly unpredictable ways.

or shape the mind in some other ways that wd be impossible to do on one's own. so Other Thing is thinking with others, letting their mind shape become your mind shape shift. a knot untieing or a knot tangling or a feeling of motion or of descent into some other mind, like diving into water off side of swimming pool and this feels good and smooth. this is one of the meanings of beautiful or aesthetics.

i think mei-mei's book is good at taking one with one on this sort of thing. maybe the wandering Dog is the Other Thing.

also stein is major here. really changes one's mind (but she has weird and at moments awful politics).

lyn hejinian is major theorist here in the language of inquiry book. also retallack. hope this becomes clear when we get to her book.
