Description
Novelty Theory is the fiery debut collection of poetry by Caspar Heinemann. Described by Bhanu Kapil as follows: "Caspar Heinemann has written an anthem for alien beloveds everywhere, in the time before rising up and where the "pre-nothings" burn up as soon as you touch them. Reading this book burst adhesions in my outlook, which is what I want (always). A book without an afterwards or a before, Novelty Theory occupies an intense present that does not console its readers. Can poetry be a form of cultural revenge?"
