Polynomials and Pollen: Parables, Proverbs, Paradigms and Praise for Lois [Paperback]

A gift for his wife, Jay Wright???s Polynomials and Pollen explores the complementary exigencies of abstraction and physicality. In five sections, each arranged under the aegis of a tutelary concept???from the Yoruba, Akan, Bamana, and N??huatl???the book is a constellation of protophilosophical inquiry into notions of order, disarray, evidence, flowering, and return; it is also a dynamically visceral work whose feelingtones register rage as well as devotion.
