Fiction. A product of over 15 years of writing, this multivalent new work both builds on and departs from Levitsky's previous efforts, as she traverses a host of contemporary theoretical discourses and concerns: transgendered bodies, social movements, pharmaceutical management of the emotions, and countless others. "The movement revolves around an accident, the exact nature of which is not disclosed. Despite the abstractions inherent in these constraints, I want the document to be accessible, engaging, addictive, and uncomfortable to hold, as in the instance of a suitcase with something vibrating inside." In this project, the formal poetics of expression confront fiction to create something utterly new.

    This book updated me from deep dislike of poetry to mild ambivalence. But it isnt entirely poetry, it's also prose, somewhere in the middle. I found that I was regretting reading a borrowed copy, because I would have preferred to highlight certain sentences and keep them around. Instead I lost all of them.

    it gathers steam. it gathers. i like that about it. gathering is one of my favorite things to do. i wish there had been a little bit more wilds. but the conceptual motion is tight and well accounted for and steady. also my body felt its dark wave deep down.
