Thoughts and Abortions

By Shane Crees

This multifaceted collection of writings by the philosopher-poet Shane Crees offers a diverse range of themes, reflections, forms and writing styles, all selected from a pensive and intellectual career of over ten years. There are aphorisms, poems, explorations of philosophy, and a dramatic renditioning of the literary practice known as deconstruction. The master Derrida is addressed directly in a piece composed as letters responding to that author's famous Letter to a Japanese Friend. Other pieces include several experiments with the ancient Haiku form but with a modern urban, counter-cultural twist, as well as scores of maxims addressing all manner of controversial subjects and tackling psychologically introspective topics. In the book as a whole there is a revelry in language, its images and rhythms; it brims with an inquiring logic that strikes often paradoxical and diametrical positions. This is an inquiring non-political book for the curious, intellectual and spiritually lost.
