The “act of recollecting has the capacity to redeem the past not by describing how the past really was but by imputing to it meaning that it never had except as to become what it is not.”
Elliot Wolfon’s own Paths of Poiesis are subjecting gigantic diachronic landscapes of ancient and contemporary philosophical, poetic, kabbalistic literature to a uniquely personal yet all-encompassing “type of futural remembering,” his own timeswerves of linear circularity are singularly universal. And we better “think of the universal as being constituted relentlessly in light of the random and indiscriminate particulars […] [yet] calibrated from the [desire] of “being-with-one-another, circulating in the with and as the with of [a] singularly plural coexistence.”
