Every Syllable Begins a Universe alludes to the many-worlds quantum science claim that every action forks off into its own alternate dimension of spacetime, and to the Hindu belief in a reality-generating mantra. These ideas inform an expansive outlook on human speech and writing in which every verbal formula is an infinite spiral of implication. The "rogue linguistics" collected here treat words as entities with unique and epochal trajectories, and letters and phonemes as sparks of self-creation.

Produktbeschreibung
Every Syllable Begins a Universe alludes to the many-worlds quantum science claim that every action forks off into its own alternate dimension of spacetime, and to the Hindu belief in a reality-generating mantra. These ideas inform an expansive outlook on human speech and writing in which every verbal formula is an infinite spiral of implication. The "rogue linguistics" collected here treat words as entities with unique and epochal trajectories, and letters and phonemes as sparks of self-creation. Across these pages, idioms unzip from their ordinary attire, italics perform somersaults, commas wriggle upstream, and every mark on a page is a candidate for personified animation.
Autorenporträt
Kimo RedeR is an Associate Professor of English at the City University of New York, and received his PhD from UCLA in 2009. His writing explores the neuroscience of literacy, sensory overlaps between verbal meaning and oral flavor, occult aspects of the alphabet, and ecstatic, visionary states of language-use like graphomania and glossolalia. He is the author of A Maxim Map of Manhattan (Regent Press 2022), a non-linear micro-history made out of a collage of urban aphorisms. His precariously titled second book, The Tower of Babel Tipped on Its Side Turns into a Tunnel of Love (CW Books, 2023), is a series of philosophical meditations phrased as tongue-twisting, eardrum-tickling sound experiments. More academically, Professor RedeR's scholarship has appeared in such journals as Christianity and Literature, The Walt Whitman Quarterly, Semiotic Inquiry, The Wallace Stevens Journal, Jacket 2, and The Routledge Companion to Food and Literature. A text-artist and experimental poet as well, his current projects include a volume of "rogue linguistics" posing its proposals as an interlinked set of jests and riddles.
