Beschreibung
"Etymologies conceives of language as process, rather than language as fixed history. These poems build imaginative mini-worlds of possible word-use. They create a playful quasi-reference work that flips standard assumptions about word origins-mainly that such origins exist. The text questions the intent of any writer using an etymology to prove a specific meaning. In so doing, Etymologies pays particular attention to relation: of the cultures and conflicts, migrations and hegemonies that create our words, words that are furthered by us, who in speaking push them into the future"-
