A new poetry collection considers the relationship between sound and meaning, and the significance of the pause in language.The Etruscan language knew no blank spaces, no breaks between words. Its texture resembled an uninterrupted flow of speech—more singing than speaking, more form than content. Only in the dictum of the pause and the meaningful fragmentation of the breath does language become comprehensible rhythmic expression. In a world full of slogans and catchphrases, Allison Grimaldi Donahue defends the poetological demand of sound over content. The History of Breathing weaves linguistics and poetry, verse and song, meaning and sound into a dense narrative about breathing, rhythm, and the gaps in language that allow words to take on meaning in the first place.In the tradition of such poets as Charles Olsen, Alice Notley, and Sappho, Grimaldi Donahue’s poetry connects the history of breath and language with narratives about the discovery and loss of our own voice.

A collection of writings by one of the most important performers and choreographers in the contemporary Japanese performance scene.Ko Murobushi was one of the most important performers and choreographers in the Japanese performance scene of the twenty-first century and a key figure in the mediation between the experimental Butoh tradition of Hijikata Tatsumi and anti-logocentric French avant-gardes such as Antonin Artaud and Gilles Deleuze. Radically positioned at the intersection of the two movements, Murobushi reveals himself as an extraordinary and poetic author in his “thinking of the body.”Fierce Unworking highlights his role as an unparalleled pioneer of contemporary paradigms such as body language, the third space, and embodied knowledge. Published ten years after his death, this volume brings together writings, poems, and diary fragments—many of which are available in English for the first time—in collaboration with the Ko Murobushi Archive in Tokyo.
