Force of What's Possible
"The Force of What's Possible features unique approaches to the concerns facing writers who compose works outside of the mainstream ken and beyond the expected terrain of experiment--courting what's unknown, uncertain, and even unrecognizable. Distinct in method and influence--and informed by discrepant genres and traditions--what they share is a love of the written word, the politics, processes, and beliefs that catalyze their work: a calling to the force of what literary language might do or become"--Page 4 of cover.
