Dear Alain

Katy Bohinc's Dear Alain is a headlong, investigative imagined conversation between Poet and Philosopher, a long love poem of letters addressed to French Platonist philosopher, Alain Badiou. At once "a romance novel of a sort," a metaphor of the relationship between poetry &amp; philosophy, and a representation of the work of Alain Badiou. Includes a short response by Badiou himself. A place where "We meet at infinity".

Poetry. SCORPIO's poems are at turns dramatic and mundane as a lust-filled pop song. They take us back to the poet's youth in suburban Ohio and move forward through the economic collapse of 2008 into a present where democracy often seems at risk. One poem hopes that a "SWOLLEN HEART" will "BURN BRIGHTER THAN THIS" while declaring that "MONOGAMY IS LIKE MARXISM" because "IT EXISTS BEST ON PAPER." Another is white hot with the memory while still another explores the simple social awkwardness of a houseguest asking for a towel. Author of the celebrated DEAR ALAIN (Tender Buttons Press, 2014), letters about love, poetry, and philosophy addressed to French philosopher Alain Badiou, Bohinc employs a variety of prose and verse forms to write about eros colliding with ego as all our explanations fail. Much as the scorpion is the ultimate survivor, these poems confront the damage done to us but do not succumb to it, naming Love, personal and abstract, as its remedy.
