"In a text born of procedural invention, each word is a making and simultaneously an unmaking. Strangely, almost like a ghost, the power of metaphor reigns. You will feel yourself inside the poems, shifting and shifted [. . .] as much poetry as it is wisdom: 'It is easy to moralize from rooftops, but what about the fields.'"—Sally Keith
A computational mistranslation of mid-twentieth century Fascist architectural writing, Rationalism engages how fascist principles, long-since published, reverberate in similar expressions of contemporary rhetoric, investigating figurative and physical constructs as mechanisms of isolation and containment built into language. Intentionally "ruining" these structures, Rationalism sifts through the debris to understand the materials from which they are built and who builds them.
