This piece is experimental in many ways. It brings play to the most serious of subjects, but not unwarranted, I hope. It is my first openly interpretive offering of some length and rigor. The thrust of the argument depends on a distortion of reading I call reading for the ghost. Jumping back and forth between contradictory statements and formal kinships I aim to paint a tableau, a figure in the carpet if you will, of the poem’s return to and from the gaps in colonial historiography.
