Poetry. "INSIDE THE GHOST FACTORY finds Norman Finkelstein returning to his pre-TRACK fascination with the Coleridgean fancy, first delineated in Restless Messengers. Here, however, Samuel Coleridge meets William Gibson and the result is a retro- Blakean myth for the age of Text and Tweet. These transmissions from 'elsewhere,' manufactured on the assembly lines of 'Ghosts, Incorporated. Poetry, Incorporated' (Limited, I might add), are gleefully dissected by Finkelstein as so much 'clap-trap.' Still, there's no correcting the blur of occultation and occlusion for the poet who believes 'Books were made for secrets they cannot/keep: this is what it means to be/read'"--Tyrone Williams.
