just discovered this site of works by Kevin Magee. I havent looked at much of it yet (his bio is in Russian!), but I am fond of his work. a very serious, working sense of Marxism displayed in his writing. philosophical and theoretical but at the same time poetical. his work is not the result of a couple of poli sci courses, but of a lengthy studied consideration. my particular interest is in the poetic, I am no judge of the political, but his use (if that's the right word) of political in his work is admirable. it suggests the sort of working commitment to language that the base core of LANGUAGE poets incorporated into their art. I mean how theory and poetry walk together. Magee effectively brings theory to work.
