Track

by Norman Finkelstein

Overview

Poetry. TRACK is a book-length poem, originally released in in three volumes by Spuyten Duyvil.

"Norman Finkelstein's TRACK undertakes a voyage beset by recombinatory duress. An excursis through realms where 'the letters / arrive to be destroyed,' this wickedly wise poem keeps on arriving long after it's done—a lingering trade or track of mind in mind, trouble in mind. It is a beautiful, beguiling book of unrest."—Nathaniel Mackey

"TRACK enacts what it is haunted by, casting spells because it remains under spells, as is all writing which finds itself too late for a ruined past, too early for a promised future."—Tyrone Williams

"No contemporary figure's life project more avidly scours the borders between heaven and earth, doctrine and faith, the metaphysical inside the physical spaces of a Word, than poet/critic's Norman Finkelstein."—Claudia Keelan
