Synopsis

NOTHING CONCLUSIVE HAS YET TAKEN PLACE IN THE WORLD THE ULTIMATE WORDOF THE WORLD ANDABOUT THE WORLD HAS NOT YET BEEN SPOKEN THE WORLD IS OPEN AND FREE EVERYTHING IS STILL IN THE FUTURE AND WILL ALWAYS BE consists of meditations upon the state of the world andthe role of the poet in our turbulent andincreasingly-violent era. Taking the form of reflections upon the experiences of the poets Ovid & Atkins, NOTHING occupies a space in which 21st century horrors-the persecution of refugees and economic migrants, Brexit, Trump, conservative resistance to the long-overdue process of decolonising the canon, questions of poetic agency, encounters with predatory male poets, the global rise of fascism, and life among the everyday demagogues and barbarians-are reflected and refracted through engagements with the exilic experiences and writings of poets across the ages.
