What People are Saying About This

Elizabeth Robinson

“Who That Divines opens onto a vastness of inquiry wherein the political, the philosophical, and the autobiographical all commingle. Moriarty, our most adept chaosophist,marshals a ‘scattering/calibrated/ to assess the meant.’ Via these deep and decentering investigations, we are led to discover a ‘power not one of belief but of being.’ ”
