Synopsis
A philosophical-minded and syntactically experimental book of poetry.
The philosopher Catherine Malabou once asked: “What should we do so that consciousness of the brain does not purely and simply coincide with the spirit of capitalism?” There Must Be A Reason People Come Here by Brian Foley is a collection of poems that attempts to answer this question by broadcasting the indirect effects of the lived condition of a subject squeezed under the structures of late capitalism.
Lines like, “Hope is a chemical, not a dream ignited in the eye / that can be heard sober.” And “There is no sun here, / just habits of light” work through the contradictions of what it means to be negatively capable. It is a collection of poems that refuses to conform to the norms of what poetry is and how it must say things.

YELLOW BRICK ROAD I hear the people who walked here. I hear it and then you hear it too. On the road, the yellow leaves coming to an end never drop, stretching out their change with something bright to mark their bodies from the black grass. Here is what we know. This is the music they would listen to. They were addicts. Here is what we know. We’re not crazy. Our instruments are impaired. Far from civilization, we’re not where we’re supposed to be. So here we are. And this meeting is officially about the possibility of turning back.
