A poem that invokes expansive loneliness, where the poet's emotional response is to endure. A crushed line of astral forms and anatomy in perpetual remove; it is a poem that nurtures vulnerability: some soft-footed embryo sounds against language's viscera. \u003ci\u003eNight \u0026amp; Ox\u003c\/i\u003e possesses a feral minimalism for those too tired and too frantic with joy to cope with narrative. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e'A fierce, ladderlike cri de coeur - at times a cri de cur - \u003ci\u003eNight \u0026amp; Ox\u003c\/i\u003e pulses with sawblade nocturnes that gnaw through the very rungs on which they're wrung. One part Jabberwocky-talkie, one part fatherhood ode, the poem seeks a threshold, where the \"mondayescent\" gives way to ardour, splendour, even love. Scott is a cosmoglot of the throat's ravine, and this is his manic, pandemonic article of faith.' - Andrew Zawacki \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eBlert\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003cbr\u003e'Scott takes us down to the basement of words, where sound and rhythm rule, and poets learn their craft. \u003ci\u003eBlert \u003c\/i\u003eis a strange and gorgeous work of linguistic materialism.' - Dennis Lee\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJordan Scott: Jordan Scott is the author of \u003ci\u003eSilt\u003c\/i\u003e (2005), \u003ci\u003eblert\u003c\/i\u003e (2008) and, with Stephen Collis, \u003ci\u003eDecomp\u003c\/i\u003e (2013).
