Official synopsis Publisher
This is the new version of McLean’s manifesto about posthuman poetry. It discusses posthumanism versus transhumanism; becoming-beast from Deleuze & Guattari; intensity in Lyotard; incommensurability & indeterminacy; the struggle between chaos & order & goddess Tiamat; & the beauty of nature contrasted with the weakness & narcissism of humanism & modern humans, with their blind belief in technology & science but accompanying dysgenic fertility, no beast left in them. There seems to be no poetry left us, & Mclean tries to find where it is hiding away.
