Jerome McGann's work is a pataparodic reflection on William Blake's visionary Menippean satire The Marriage and Heaven and Hell, where Blake skewered the thought and practice of his period's secular and sacred Enlightenments. Having grown a public address more blind and indigent than even Blake imagined, contemporary regimes of our Modernity are here called to an outrageous comic accounting staged as a set of relentless language games and prosepoetic Nonsense. A gallery of arresting never-neverland illuminations by the artist Arthur Kennickell, nearly all -- but, significantly, not all -- created specifically for this work, open fresh doors of perception into what Blake's and McGann's works set out to do. What Language for Prophets and/or Loss is a more synoptic act of " transubstantiation" than the selections that appeared last year in McGann's Transubstantiations, also published by Station Hill Press.
