Lyric Philosophy

Two parallel texts, on facing pages, run through this unique volume. The left-hand text is Zwicky's exploration of the definition of a work as "philosophy," and a discussion of the notion of lyric. The right-hand text is "a scrapbook" of quotes from other authors, snippets of musical text, poems, and a handful of b&w photos. She presents the whole as "a new sort of overview" of the work of Wittgenstein, and an enquiry into Freud's concept of "primary process." Paper edition (unseen), $25.
