Poetry. A quantum autobiography of "I," DECOHERENCE tracks the unfolding, loss, and reconstitution of self, knowledge and object, and permeates the boundary—the artifice—between I and world. Using quantum physics, thermodynamics, and symbolic logic, Kremer wrenches us into the process of becoming. These pages are a visual analogue of the equation of being and "the continuous whiting-out / of not-being." From broken symmetry and the Federation of Black Cowboys to the Sphinx and the freewheel, from our fears of losing an iPhone to humanity's reduction "to 1,000 breeding pairs," Kremer's metaphors are as variegated as are her multiverses. DECOHERENCE speaks to the alienation of the 21st century soul and to the possibility of that soul's reengagement. An incessant physical, geological, magnetic, astronomical, mathematical, and computational diction reminds us that we, and our known worlds, constantly decohere."DECOHERENCE is one of those marvelous books that feels both familiar and like nothing I've ever read before. Classic couplets and incantatory repetitions share the page with abstract images and graphic symbols. Syntax is subverted and mathematical functions are applied to language. Naturalist descriptions of farmland and seascapes contrast with references to mini-malls, satellite dishes and Macbook Pros. The combined effect is grounding, unexpected, delightful, nostalgic, funny, immediate, and at times deeply lonely. DECOHERENCE embodies the experience of reading poetry in the 21st century."&38212;Miranda McLeod
