the dust of a contact that is everywhere moves between theoretical reflection and aesthetic practice through essays, fragments, daybook entries, and lyrical experiments. It explores attention, the temporality of lyric lines, and the ethical implications of how we read, write, and live beside others. Collage and drift function as both method and ethic; friendship becomes a form of nonhierarchical inquiry. Drawing on artists and thinkers such as Giorgio Agamben, Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, and Toru Takemitsu, the book is a capacious and intimate work of reading understood as a form of radical attentiveness.

Reviews for The Dust of a Contact That Is Everywhere: With a Foreword by Paolo Javier

""""Raymond de Borja has been at the cutting edge of innovative poetry for some time. His self-reflexive poesis carries forward the bold work of modernism into inventive new valences. Now he gives us a book of essays and meditations that are equally rich, strange, and compelling. Ranging from Jack Spicer, to the genre of the daybook and the poetics of lineation in Hejinian, Stein, Guest, and Berssenbrugge, to visual art, these essays thrill with their vivid illuminating investigations. the dust of a contact that is everywhere is bold and visionary – it is not to be missed!"" - Patrick Pritchett, author of Make It Broken: Toward A Poetics Of Late Modernism
