An experiment in ambiance, lineation and energy exchange, Bohr's is a book-length poem that alternates prose and verse sections. The prose rewrites the opening salvos of Spinoza's Ethics through a conversation between two people walking around a parking lot and talking about dogs, an actual dog in someone's yard and people in a theater watching what turns out to be a film about two people walking around a parking lot and talking about dogs. The verse takes as a formal and procedural model the exchange of electrons to create energy as documented by the writings of Niels Bohr, attempting to replicate this exchange through the redeployment and exchange of the utterance within the poem's own sonic, rather than atomic, structure.
