About The Artwork
"Caspar Heinemann has written an anthem for alien beloveds everywhere, in the time before rising up and where the “pre-nothings” burn up as soon as you touch them. Reading this book burst adhesions in my outlook, which is what I want (always.) A book without an afterwards or a before, Novelty Theory occupies an intense present that does not console its readers. Can poetry be a form of cultural revenge?" – Bhanu Kapil Published by 87 Press in 2019, 'Novelty Theory' is Caspar Heinemann's first published collection of poetry.
