      Short description/annotation:  A series of short texts or poems
      that revel
      in structured and unstructured language, with all the gaps and
      excitement
      that happens when language is stressed to the limit.

      Main description:  In Sondheim.s Deep Language, writing detours
      through
      digital and other media, returning with new forms and genres,
      new ways of
      thinking philosophy, the body, religion, and everything else.
      This is a
      series of poems that revel in structured and unstructured
      language, with
      all the gaps and excitement that happens when language is
      stressed to the
      limit.

      These pieces cohere, interrelate, interpenetrate; they develop
      the concept
      of deep language in any number of fascinating ways, ranging from
      intuitive
      writing to the use of scripts, code, and programming to
      elucidate hidden
      meanings . where none may have existed before.

      Excerpt from book:

      bunnies

      the bunnies made strange calls, odd calls, gruntings, not the
      thumpings
      but the gruntings - ..I say. .there is a chair.. . Wittgenstein
      in
      translation . right over the other lupus. ears, just like that!
      .->:anyway
      the rabbits did this five or six times in a row and it seemed
      fairlyclear
      they were playing and right in front of us in the middle of the
      night.
      Honestly, you should have seen them! I never saw such a thing! I
      never
      knew rabbits could do such a thing! .Do not try to analyse your
      own inner
      experience.. - Wittgenstein in translation -:i pucker my lips
      constantly
      in the absence of the shakuhachi. i know its murmuring burbling
      abbling
      brook. now i.m at a loss, having transformed bAbbling into
      something else
      entirely . in any case, when i die, these three instruments will
      huddle in
      a maddening corner, bubbling with mournful murmuring cries .
      .Not it.s
      looking like him.. - Wittgenstein in translation . ]]] here is a
      space.
      the one rabbit runs straight at the other and the other rabbit
      jumps
      vertically at the very last moment over the first rabbit and
      landf in the
      same spot.that.s .lands.. <..::

      Write through my the bunnies made strange calls, odd calls,
      gruntings, not
      the thumpings but the gruntings . ..I say. .there is a chair.. -
      Wittgenstein in translation . right over the other lupus. ears,
      just like
      that! .->!


      Unpublished endorsement:  Alan Sondheim writes. In fear of death
      . literal
      fear, real fear, symbolic fear . he uses anything and everything
      at his
      disposal to make and unmake himself and all of us as statements,
      words,
      part-words, characters. Alan Sondheim is one of the precious few
      who
      joyfully . and in abject misery . risks these terrors of writing
      for us,
      for our pleasure and our undoing. What happens? Language
      disposes of us.

      As if that were not all that is required of any writer, Alan
      Sondheim is
      also the poet, the artist, the maker who has most profoundly
      immersed
      himself and his work in the life-changing code-forms . of
      networked
      computation . that have the world and its .genesis redux. in
      their grip.
      John Cayley


      Unpublished endorsement:  Pioneer of experimental sensibility in
      multiple
      performance media Alan Sondheim tangles us up in these
      hypnotically
      repetitive, abject, slyly humorous and childishly gleeful,
      philosophically, aesthetically, theoretically and
      psychologically dense
      and insightful poems that are also essays, diasporic riffs and
      incantations, true confessions, Platonic dialogues, shtick,
      tantrums,
      aphorisms and manifesti. And that.s just the first 5 pieces!
      Maria Damon
