As iZ [Paperback]

As iZ is a tripartite lyric (Pharmacy, To Market and Library), a multi-prong investigation into the relationship between the West and East, the entangled networks among Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and the dynamics among Islamic practices and pre-Islamic cultures. It is, in this sense, a meditation on the vacillation between between-ness and among-ness, the two and the many, and the desire to escape both two-ness and many-ness into the singularity of one on the way to extinction, the bone at zero.

TYRONE WILLIAMS teaches literature and theory at Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. He is the author of several chapbooks and five books of poetry: c.c., On Spec, The Hero Project of the Century, Adventures of Pi, and Howell. A limited-edition art project, Trump loeil, was published in 2017.
