so the long stretch of life / reveals its curvature / by those widely separated // moments when we are / brushed / by this awareness // of an other / that we do not know

In his latest collection of poems, poet, deep state researcher, and radical medievalist Peter Dale Scott interrogates topics that have occupied his later thought and writing, such as moreness (our need, as humans, to be more than we are), minding, and enmindment (the generative synergy, engaging both hemispheres of our bicameral mind, of intellectual and spiritual enlightenment, now out of kilter).

In pursuit of these themes, Scott's voice ranges far, from engaging with poets of the past and, hopefully, the future to critiques of coercive political power, from elegies for important figures in his life - Leonard Cohen, Daniel Ellsberg, Czeslaw Milosz, and Robert Silvers - to fan letters for minders Chelsea Manning and Dr Christine Blasey Ford.

Dreamcraft is a book that crosses distances and straddles boundaries, moving from whistleblower law to the mimetic properties of DNA, from the entropic spread / of the drifting cosmos / after the big bang to the push of lawn grass / under foot.
