The modern university is a factory that transforms knowledge workers into carcasses. We are cattle primed for the slaughter. Part poem and part poet's novel, this abattoir is a college explores the hostile demands that higher education places upon capitalised bodies, upon students and faculty, whose common purposes are now brittle and pointless. If these institutions will never love you back, Tierney asks: can the knowledge worker foster a different collegial monster? Burn down the classroom, the poem replies, we can build an unreasonable college.
