Publisher Description:
Patrick Pritchett's Gnostic Frequencies boldly and brilliantly takes up the Romantic quest to make an infinite Book. Just as Pritchett's previous volume Burn offered a visionary revision of the Joan of Arc legend, here the poet 'rewrites the myth' of the Archive as a self-renewing ruin of absolute meaning, 'a scripting of / impossible flowers.' In musical measures, Pritchett aligns ancient paradoxes of the inspirited Word with post-postmodern meditations on the virtual body. This new book stands as a major contribution to the tradition of American radical lyricism. Andrew Joron
