Poetry. Thinking of the 19th century as a jumble of contradictions--free social experiment and slavery, revolution and charisma, rational enquiry and racial construction--Deborah Meadows has written a book that takes Moby Dick one chapter at a time and performs a reading-through of the novel that combines chance operation with philosophical investigation. Recent works include a Tinfish chapbook, The 60s and 70s: from The Theory of Subjectivity in Moby-Dick and a book-length collection of her poetry, REPRESENTING ABSENCE, from Green Integer.
