Other species might define us very differently than ourselves. They exist not for their own sake, but to serve some human need or appetite-beginning with basic cognition and self-preservation, but then also phobia, greed and so forth-and they are contingent on human perception. Not unrelatedly, my interest in the borders that humans draw is informed, I think, both by an awareness of our need for them, as well as by a suspicion regarding how they are, to some degree, arbitrary, no matter how necessary or real they come to seem. But moreover, I liked how it seemed to reflect on its own polysemy, as if the manyness of its meanings was itself problematic-which I take to mean difficult to define or to determine complicated, intricate, which to me, as writer, actually isn’t a problem at all, but an essential condition of art, as well as of consciousness. The phrase suggested a lot of things that matter to me as a distractable Gemini in our nation’s most populous city. Timothy Donnelly: From the moment I read the title of Peter Unger’s essay “The Problem of the Many,” even before I had read the essay itself, I knew I had to name a book that. What is your relationship to form when you write? Is it predetermined? What do you really think of it? In other words, in what way is it necessary, and how does it relate to the book's insistence on the dissolution of boundaries?

All of the poems adhere to some fairly strict forms. Monica Fambrough: The idea of borders is important in this book (the title itself referring to a philosophical problem, which is also a scientific problem, of defining any particle-based object whose boundaries are unclear)-I am interested in the formal implications here. He places high demands on his poems and his audience, but it is his faith in them, and us, that ultimately allows for transcendence. -Monica Fambrough The language is revered, and it is exhaustive.

The past, present, and future live together in his work. Donnelly’s poems enact a kind of alchemy. Having known and worked with Timothy since his second collection, The Cloud Corporation, was published to much acclaim in 2010, I was excited to learn about the process of a poet I considered to be among the most insistent and precise of his generation.
