Maths

by Joel Chace

Overview

In  Maths  by Joel Chace, poignant, exacting anecdotes, dreams, and implacable observations are the core of every page. Around these are a vivid scatter of math detritus: cutup citations about concepts, some word problems, references to physics and epistemology, scientific and geometric formulae in algebraic languages that might even be fabrications using those abbreviations and glyphs. These theorems and speculative propositions are thrown as if by chance on each page. This is a provocative and provoking book addressing and dissolving rigor, and framing the living, the dead, apparent exactness, and actual existence. — Rachel Blau DuPlessis Author of  Selected Poems 198001/01/2020
