Peeping Mot: Available from Apogee Press
First assembled and composed in this forum, Peeping Mot is now a perfect-bound paperback book, published by Apogee Press.Available from Small Press Distribution.
Like the cast of characters A Maxwell has here assembled (Robert Walser, Aaron Kunin, Rene Char, Sir Thomas Browne, and more), PEEPING MOT is a collection of brilliant and occult profundity. Its propositions admirably reinvent the paternal, make a wry and deep inquiry into the function of poetry, and wield the epigram as Chinese box, as koan. It is a book of uncommonly beautiful language and enigmatic intelligence, packed with soft surprises. – Maggie Nelson
