Inhaltsangabe

Literary Nonfiction. Poetry. PREDICTIONARY is about blank spaces in language and culture and their formative role in conceptual and artistic creativity. It is a dictionary of would-be words that are designed to fill gaps in language and generate new concepts and meanings. Focused on the creative potential of a neologism and a dictionary entry, this book is dedicated to both poetry and poetics.

"There is a great deal of joy in this project, and playfulness that is rarely encountered in contemporary thinkers.... One of the movtives of this project is to find a language for what our systems of meaning exclude or render unimaginable."
—Mary Cappello, Professor of English, University of Rhode Island
