Angus Fletcher’s Precious Idiosyncrasy
The essay describes Angus Fletcher’s ambitious, often uncanny ways of mapping the nature of literary form and literary knowing. The essay describes how Fletcher himself describes our crucial metaphors of order and disorder, our “cosmic” (sometimes cosmetic) images, how he explores their conditions of possibility.

Infernal Metamorphoses
This is an essay in the poetics of pain and punishment, in the symbology of sin. I do not have anything new to add, as might otherwise be expected, to scholarly accounts of the philosophical system which informs the horrific, orderly landscape of Dante's Inferno, and the machinery of suffering deployed within it-the progression downwards, that is, from sins of Incontinence to those of Violence and Fraud, from Lust to Treachery.
