Quantum physics meets fable in this one-act tragicomedy by Elizabeth Zuba, her first full-length book of poetry. A balanced infusion of fairy-tale whimsy and the dense science of the very small, DECOHERENT delivers a haunting vision of madcap infinitudes. Translator of volumes by Marcel Broodthaers and editor of Ray Johnson’s writing, Zuba’s DECOHERENT is a happy companion to these artists’ hyper-quotidian and fantastical worlds.


I have been awaiting this rare and decoherent book for a decade.
