This Is:
It was difficult to remember what she thought was happening between us, but sometimes if he hears a certain song, one does remember. Too, his mother said the world is governed by scientific laws and when she is angry, he should yell. Loudly. Or softly. Into. She started to believe something new. So did I. Neither of us could pin the point of it exactly, but after that, everything did change. Then it refused. The whole story changes. It is refused. In the future, it will be changed again, in the future anterior. Still, so much depends on what happens today. The way of order is as true as any formal memory.
This is TrenchArt: Maneuvers, a collection of texts written by each of the writers/artists whose work is forthcoming in the fifth TrenchArt series—Maneuvers— published by Les Figues Press. These texts are about the recombinant possibilities of art and literature; they are also a guide to the writers’ individual works. As a series, TrenchArt Maneuvers explores the possibilities of re-ordered time and content, understanding, of course, that one (he, she, I, you, too) cannot separate content from time, and that to shift the form, or the order, or the order of the form, is to shift the subjectivies of a text. This is the first book in a series of five. As you read, the point of this, like your quantum mechanical perspective, will change.
