Presentable Art of Reading Absence by Jay Wright

The Presentable Art of Reading Absence takes as impulse the act of meditation, in which the energetic relationship between a meditative body and its universe is not only the envisioning of absence by presence but also vision itself: “Here begins the revelation of a kiosk.” With occult emotionality and analytic brilliance, Jay Wright has written the user’s guide to evanescence: “I have become attuned / to the disappearance of all things / and of my self . . .”
