WHICH THEREFORE ADDS MUCH THAT CANNOT BE NAMED<br />
Over the course of my time at the Arteles residency, I composed<br />
a series of textual oddities inspired by Susan Stewart’s booklength<br />
essay, “”Nonsense””. These oddities range from short<br />
stories about the origins of language to phonological nonsense<br />
poems, and other deviant operations which task themselves<br />
with the undercutting of assumptions about discourse.<br />
My small collection holds a dual address at the crossroads<br />
between literature and performance. As I continue with this<br />
body of work beyond the residency, I hope to find further<br />
incarnations for its use both on the page and the stage.<br />
A Stewartism to live by: “Where there is a common sense, there<br />
will be a common nonsense.” I say we could all use a great deal<br />
more nonsense in our lives: we’d certainly have much more fun<br />
than we are having now. The road makes no promises, but then<br />
again, our mischief has never needed a tangible guarantee in<br />
order to take flight. O, that way madness lies!
