And Yet. Cet article n’est pas disponible.And Yet

An innovative work of speative fiction, Jeff Alessandrelli's  And Yet  interrogates contemporary shyness, selfhood and sexual mores, drawing out the partiars of each through personal history, tural commentary and the author's own restless imagination.  And Yet  builds off the work of authors as disparate as Michel Leiris, Marguerite Duras and Kobo Abe, while quoting from and alluding to texts by Susan Sontag, Young Thug, Young Jean Lee, Cesare Pavese, Sylvia Plath and Louise Glück, among others. At the same time, however,  And Yet  is entirely itself, with a nameless, self-questioning Millennial protagonist simultaneously proud and afraid of his formidable interiority. "Love is a thing full of anxious fear," especially when what you ultimately love and fear is your self," writes Alessandrelli, and  And Yet  draws such a notion down, out and around again, finally arriving at its own idiosyncratic answers.

Jeff Alessandrelli is most recently the author of the poetry collection Fur Not Light (2019), which The Kenyon Review called an "example of radical humility...its poems enact a quiet but persistent empathy in the world of creative writing." Entitled Nothing of the Month Club, an expanded version of Fur Not Light was released in the United Kingdom in 2021. In addition to his writing Alessandrelli also directs the nonprofit book press/record label Fonograf Editions. jeffalessandrelli.net
