The geometry of death / use value overtaking exchange value and them both abolishing each other / Tripwire / “even the moon hates cops” / Brendan Joyce / summer garden / Luddism / the moon a horrified witness / The White Rose / Milf Manor / Castro’s “Nothing Can Stop the Course of History / the fragment / nourishment / regimes of time / escarole / the landlord’s boyfriend / Faith Smith / Costco as the base of a communist project / in blockages think about the martyrs of Palestine / me inside a shape that was impossible to describe / carpenter-chef-jazz musician / use is a demon / what a poem is doing vs. what someone is doing with it

Dominick Knowles is a poet and academic worker researching modernist and contemporary poetry of the Americas. Their writing has appeared or is forthcoming in Mediations, Viewpoint, Post45 Contemporaries, Modernism/modernity, Bloomsbury Academic, and Amerikastudien, among others.

They are currently NTT faculty in the English, American Studies, and Labor Studies departments at UMass Boston, as well as Professor of Writing and Critical Thinking and the incoming Academic Director at the Clemente Course in the Humanities (Dorchester).

(And for green_space’s money they are doing some of the most important, provocative curation of poetry in this moment through Protean, a publication that breaks down the traditional firewall between literature and leftist politics.)
