On the other hand, this is not meant to signal a return to the glorification of the literal, uninterpretable word -- dereified, dejected and debriefed. The literal, left to its own devices, quite literally vanishes; or its meaning does, leaving behind only bones in its stead -- skeletons on paper, words in cages, bars of print. I am interested in this piece of paper and also not just this one. The marks on this page gather meaning and content and are not just dead signs. Once they enter into language they become part of the scheme of consciousness. But meaning circulates outside of intention, it is a force between the letters that scripts the surmise -- this is what is hitting you between the eyes.
