“A Book Is a Different Kind of Riddle Altogether”: Evan Isoline in Conversation with Vi Khi Nao about PHILOSOPHY OF THE SKY
PHILOSOPHY OF THE SKY is Evan Isoline’s debut full-length book and was published by 11:11 Press on May 18, 2021. Vi Khi Nao: I really love your name, Evan Isoline.

Frederick Arias: Opera kitsch for Rituals Performed in the Absence of Ganymede by Mike Corrao
Rituals Performed in the Absence of Ganymede emphasizes the ludological role of abstract anatomies and how they project different erotic instances from the artificial carapace that those bodies redesign in the act of reading through their garments and organs. In the rhizomatic level of the composition of the text, those organisms reduplicate themselves as they…
