The supernova blaze of Adam Cornford's poetry fuses surrealism, science, politics, and eros to yield exotic particles of meaning rarely found on Earth. Cornford's vision, like that of Blake, overleaps the dark Satanic mills of commodity culture to discover a utopia that can only be configured by radical imagery. Here, language becomes a ' semiotic multiverse' proliferating toward an emancipated future. With this longawaited major collection, Cornford affirms his place among that visionary company of poets empowered to chant the reenchantment of word and world. Andrew Joron
