Ebook: Night & Ox

Jordan Scott levies a soft-footed human embryo alongside the sounds of a dusty comet as both sidle up alongside loneliness, fatherhood, and language's viscera. The minimalism of Night & Ox reaches into the desire that's programmed into language, it shows us what a week and wonderful bridge language can be between the body and mind.

Praise for Jordan Scott:

"In Blert, Jordan Scott has taken a lifetime of stuttering and turned it to audacious advantage ... Scott takes us down to the basement of words, where sound and rhythm rule, and poets learn their craft. Blert is a strange and gorgeous work of linguistic materialism."

— Dennis Lee

"Jordan Scott's Blert is the most original poetic project I have read in years ... At once an intimately personal confession and a coldly statistical abstraction, Blert defines itself in the same way Paul Valéry defined poetry: a prolonged hesitation between sound and meaning."

— Craig Dworkin
