Faxes From the Dead

Colorado State University

These poems are a self-reflexive performance of the author's doctoral thesis and the experience of writing it. They argue that a Kristevan "poetic language" may be a more appropriate form for discussing authors who contribute to an otherness of language-who write at the limits of ordinary language. Thus, these poems as academic arguments offer themselves as contradictions, as movements between the knowable and unknowable. In doing so, these poems, and poetry as an alternative to traditional academic rhetoric, transcend logic and exist as productions of meaning in and of themselves.

Key Words: poetry • language • writing • self-reflexivity
