These nomadically shape-shifting poems range widely across times, places, and cultures, addressing, for example, the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster (in a quasi-opera libretto),the meditations of tenth-century revolutionary poet, sufi teacher, and thinker Mansur al-Hallaj, an homage to his old friend and collaborator Jerome Rothenberg (19312024), a list poem celebrating Herman Melvilles 200 birthday, and extracts from his <em>Book of Cormorant</em>. These sequences are interspersed with shorter works, such as poems addressing Paul Celan upon completing translations of that poets oeuvre, Dantes expulsion from Florence, and more. As he says in the poem "The Poets Job," "pick up everything that shines / discard the gold / keep the light." Or, as Randall Horton suggests, these poems "are inter-cont(in)ental as sound and symbol weaves in and out of cultures, traditionsthey critique, informteach in a multiverse of languagesthey love. The beauty, as with all of Joriss literary work, is when language is allowed to be nomadic and unbound."
