There Must Be a Reason People Come Here by Brian Foley

There Must Be a Reason People Come Here by Brian Foley

A philosophical-minded and syntactically experimental book of poetry. The philosopher Catherine Malabou once asked: “What should we do so that consciousness of the brain does not purely and simply coincide with the spirit of capitalism?” There Must Be A Reason People Come Here by Brian Foley is a collection of poems that attempts to answer this question by broadcasting the indirect effects of the lived condition of a subject squeezed under the structures of late capitalism.  Lines like, “Hope is a chemical, not a dream ignited in the eye / that can be heard sober.” And “There is no sun here, / just habits of light” work through the contradictions of what it means to be negatively capable. It is a collection of poems that refuses to conform to the norms of what poetry is and how it must say things.

Brian Foley is the author of The Constitution, also published by Black Ocean, as well as several chapbooks. He currently teaches Ethics at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, CO.
