Review Quotes: The Unfollowing by Lyn Hejinian is a sequence of elegies, mourning public as well as personal loss. They are composed entirely of non sequiturs, with the intention of demonstrating, if not achieving, a refusal to follow aesthetic proprieties and rejecting the logic of mortality and of capitalism.--Alex Crowly "Publishers Weekly" (12/18/2015 12:00:00 AM)
