Perseus Academic: Neighbour Procedure by Rachel Zolf

'Neighbour Procedure & pack[s] an intellectual punch that reminds us, once again, of the powerhouse generations of innovative feminist poets that continually challenge and transform our understanding of what poetic texts can do.' Matrix Magazine

'Rachel Zolf brings an incredible range of readings to bear on the poetic line. If there is a mixing of media within these lines, there is also a proliferation of tongues, an effort to let language collide to produce a more acute and anguished experience of war & This is a courageous and moving work that feels like the struggle of a lifetime condensed into potent lines.' Judith Butler, critical theorist and author of Gender Trouble

\' Politics and poetry are a volatile mix. Yes, except that the voices of war and terrorism are themselves defiantly both. Zolf shows us this truth, and so her lyrics s(t)ing, acidly.' George Elliott Clarke, author of George and Rue

\' This book is a sharp, painful cry against the tyranny of the monologic.' Charles Bernstein, author of Girly Man and Attack of the Difficult Poems

\' Neighbour Procedure is the most realized conceptual-modular book of political poetry I've read to date; Zolf's language-motion escapes several nation-states' culture capture zones while re-threading the very notion of self-representational purposivity.' Rodrigo Toscano, author of Collapsible Poetics Theatre
