The poet confounds the syntax of the imagination to do more than "lay bare the device." Ganick proposes to negotiate the device, not as a matter of commerce, but as a place to run over, between, and after the linguistic obstacle course we call consciousness. It's a wild read, especially after one realizes that her mind's being hacked upon--but the beauty's this: we're being reconfigured by our own knowledge systems.--Susan Smith Nash
