Produktbeschreibung
A poetic investigation of sound, language, and liminality.  Interweaving distilled prose and verse, Crane reexamines two figures from Greco-Roman myth: Cardea, the little-known goddess of hinges, and Echo, the nymph whose body is transformed into reflective sound. Constellating personal narrative, etymological fragments, and meditations on language, the book’s first section unearths a poetics of the hinge. The second section, “Delay  Figure,” investigates the relationality of sound, the affective capacities of the nonlinguistic voice, and the dissolution of the desiring body, taking as its guiding figure the aural phenomena of echoes as well as their mythological personification. “Inlet,” the book’s final section, is a sequence of lyric poems that revolve around questions of time, detritus, and transformation, tracing ellipses of intimacy and illness, duration, and ecological precarity.
