Outside His Circled Limpid World

No.160, aired February 29, 2012 – a double (2-hour episode).

This episode contrasted two texts – a live reading of Sean Bonney’s Happiness: Poems After Rimbaud, and an audiobook of H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine. Wells envisions a class-bassed society polarized to the point of total segregation, as observed from the top down by Wells’ detached, alien narrator. Bonney registers the effects of class society on subjectivity, the tortured imagination of participants in the struggle at street level, in a whirl of sensation – there is no privileged place to look down from.
