In a timely response to poet and Humanities scholar Joan Retallack’s question, “How can one frame a poetics of the swerve, a constructive preoccupation with what are unpredictable forms of change?” (The Poethical Wager), artist-scholar L. Martina Young takes a deep dive into the ‘arabesque aesthetic’ with her new essay, “Arabesque | an art of connections, a poetics of the swerve,” weaving Persian aesthetics, somatic ways of knowing, Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology, David Bohm’s physics, poetry, and memoir to expound on the beauty and wisdom of unity,—a critical ethos for our 21st century socio-cultural times.
