Description
The Grid is a collection of poems that explore the end of worlds, both ancient and modern. Through three sequences of verse, Eli Payne Mandel delves into the concept of 'the writing of the disaster', as described by Maurice Blanchot. Mandel's work weaves together fragments of archival texts with his own translations from classical sources, creating a unique blend of past and present. The result is a series of poems that not only uncover the story behind Linear B, but also invite readers to engage creatively with language itself. Through its exploration of four millennia of apocalypse, The Grid offers a nuanced survey of the ruins of the West, one that eschews nostalgia for a more humane understanding of the past.
