Synopsis "Whereof: poems after Wittgenstein: poems: poems after Wittgenstein"

This book of poems is about the much-discussed, highly influential philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889 -1951), some of whose gnomic sayings have now acquired near-proverbial status. Christopher Norris is a Swansea-based philosopher-poet and Emeritus Professor at Cardiff University who has often read, taught and written about Wittgenstein's work over many decades. Norris takes seriously Wittgenstein's assertion that 'philosophy should only be written as poetry', but not quite as Wittgenstein intended. Rather, Norris evokes the most salient traits of Wittgenstein's writing - aphoristic, metaphorical, cryptically revealing, sometimes koan-like - and treats them in formal (rhyming and metrical) verse which draws out senses subtly or strikingly at odds with received accounts. The result is a sequence of close-focused poetic reflections, engagements, and intertextual dialogues where aspects of Wittgenstein's work and life-history are passed in sympathetic but critically incisive review. It will certainly flutter some of the more staid or like-minded academic dovecotes whose coo-filled interiors, as Norris has long maintained, could do with the occasional fluttering.This volume will make a notable addition to Norris's earlier verse-collections on Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Derrida, and Rilke.
