Description

The Unfollowing is a sequence of elegies that explore the complexities of grief and loss. Lyn Hejinian's poems are a collection of non sequiturs, composed entirely of unexpected juxtapositions, in an attempt to defy traditional notions of form and logic.

Through a mix of outrage, hilarity, anxiety, and ribaldry, Hejinian seeks to capture the messy, anarchic nature of human emotions. By embracing the illogical and the unconventional, she creates a space for staying alive amidst the turmoil of mortality and capitalism.

This collection is a powerful exploration of the limits of language and the fragility of the self. With its unique blend of form and content, The Unfollowing offers a thought-provoking reading experience that challenges readers to reevaluate their relationship with poetry and loss.
