The 18 essays in The Boundary of Blur are concerned with the complex interchange between writing, science and psychoanalysis, and chart the activities of a mind at work along, within and beyond the "boundaries" of these disciplines. These essays exhibit the patience and goodwill necessary to give the world and its complications the responses they deserve. They do so while involving and implicating the reader in the very construction of their propositions. Piombino writes not as a tour guide ushering befuddled readers through the new poetries, but as an intellectual shaman evoking and applying their liberatory potentials.
Nick Piombino is a poet, essayist, artist, and psychotherapist. He has been associated with poets from both the New York School of the 1960s and the Language Poets of the 1970s, though his work is not easily classified. His many books (10 +), including The Boundary of Blur (Roof), Essays (too many to count), Manifestos (multiple) and Aphorism (still in use) are numerous.
