She is co-editor of Lust for Life, a volume of essays on the novelist Kathy Acker and has published articles on women\u2019s innovative writing by and on poets\u2019 theater and performance. Her poets\u2019 theater and interdisciplinary performance works have been presented nationally and internationally.

Other books by Carla Harryman include the experimental novels Gardener of Stars (Atelos 2001) and The Words: After Carl Sanburg\u2019s Rootabaga Stories and Jean-Paul Sartre (O Books, 1999); two volumes of selected writings, There Never Was a Rose without a Thorn (City Lights, 1995) and Animal Instincts: Prose, Plays and Essays (This, 1989); and many other collections of poetry, prose, and new genre writings, including Open Box (Belladonna, 2007) and Baby (Adventures in Poetry, 2006).<\/p>\n
Adorno\u2019s Noise is a collection of experimental, poetic, and conceptual essays. Adorno\u2019s Noise takes a stunning plunge into a kaleidoscopic world of globalization, female sexuality, the place of art and artist, and the looming power of the state. Phrases from Theodor Adorno\u2019s aphoristic philosophical text, Minima Moralia, serve as catalysts for an explosion of thought and language that quickly breaks Adorno\u2019s orbit.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis work by Carla Harryman, startlingly astute, once again proves how necessary an encounter with her writing has become for us today. Her grasp of theoretical and poetic exigencies is unbypassable, and she moves lightly, lifting the prose poem into the amplitude of a new articulation.\u201d<\/em>
\n-Avital Ronell<\/p>\nAdorno\u2019s \u2018noise\u2019 may be nothing more than the consonance of late modern capital talking to itself, but Carla Harryman listens to Adorno listening, and what she hears is a very different sort of dissonance, something Adorno himself may have been deaf to. Listening for a noise that can\u2019t be heard, Harryman attends to the disruption of signal the aesthetic artifact called a corpse at the limit of Adorno\u2019s magisterial eloquence, where thought steps over the body.<\/em><\/p>\nAtonally faithful to his negativity the afterglow of torment passing through figures of speech while refusing the authority of a masterful dialectic, Harryman makes our unthought horizon \u201cnormality is death\u201d audible, presencing a body that can\u2019t be redeemed by aesthetics the bosy wants tobe art and fails at it. From Gender the Status of Dogs to works by Sun Ra, Anais Nin, Robert Smithson, and Kenzaburo Oe, this radically asynthetic writing moves thru polyphonic configuration of word, image and concept. Synthesia? Emotional truth? The intersection between abstraction and narration? Practicing a militant ethic of non-mastery as every one of its sentences sounds like a sensory organ in the process of becoming its own theoretician. Adorno\u2019s Noise reinvents the \u201cessay as form,\u201d but it doesn\u2019t stop short of reinventing thinking.\u201d<\/em>
