Negation-by-accumulation lets writing undo its own form yet still congeal
Evidence
In not writing a poemy poem, Boyer amasses negations in/and/as amassing text, an aggregation of writing that isn’t being done—accumulation by repetition. Writing negates itself, the superabundance of prose and personal gerunds undoes form and genre, but the repetitions and enjambments congeal. — Anna Kornbluh, Immediacy, or The Style of Too Late…, 176
