A philosophical-minded and syntactically experimental book of poetry.The philosopher Catherine Malabou once asked: What should we do so that consciousness of the brain does not purely and simply coincide with the spirit of capitalism? There Must Be A Reason People Come Here by Brian Foley is a collection of poems that attempts to answer this question by broadcasting the indirect effects of the lived condition of a subject squeezed under the structures of late capitalism.&160;Lines like, &8220;Hope is a chemical, not a dream ignited in the eye that can be heard sober.&8221; And &8220;There is no sun here, just habits of light&8221; work through the contradictions of what it means to be negatively capable. It is a collection of poems that refuses to conform to the norms of what poetry is and how it must say things.
