In his latest work, Charles Noble further reins in the already tight haiku only to let loose, a "logopoeic" poetry. Poems of "splendid rigour" or riddles of wit that are solved by "lifetime" insights - a dialectical poetry that still observes a phenomenological toehold but transcends the limits of locality in recognising the curled-up-but-everywhere world of media and markets - a la Frederic Jameson. And yet, these "haikus" go straight - to "the shock of the naive". They turn to a middle ground, in Aristotle's sense of difficult target. They point to human acts, human reactions, and enact, themselves, a meta-linguistic wrestling, at one with the quarrelling couple in the bar hanging on each other's words and insistent with "what do you mean by [a simple word]?" But they are also implicated in what he calls the death drive (not death wish), which arcs freely over a human life span - think architecture - and which, more radically, in the "pleated/ crossword", "make[s]/ good// a/ bit/ of/ bad/ infinity" (p. 57), no expenses, except for that toehold, earth, as he would have it.
