Mingling Among

"Paul Naylor's MINGLING AMONG is a beautifully sustained, thought-provoking, and companionable prose poem in five interrelated sections. Taking the paragraph as his primary unit of composition, scenes are rendered in ever-changing frames of time, scale, and location, in a measured if kaleidoscopic inquiry into the possibility of overcoming our obsession with binary constructions and the domination of nature."--Ted Pearson

"This book is an intellectual autobiography composed as a series of questions often untethered from answers. This book is a philosophical text that teases out Western dualism and, with no little difficulty, favors multiplicity. This book is the story of a boy who grew up Mormon who became a man aging into Zen Buddhism. This book is about the older father of a young girl who dances to Taylor Swift. This book is about an anti-capitalist who lives in capital. This book is an examination of the self as grammar, excluding capitals. This book is an elegy to our earth on the brink of extinction."--Susan M Schultz
