Popis:	As a critique of the constructedness of sense-making, Bruce Andrews' poetry presents itself as an 'inversely proportional writing', in that it rewrites the directly proportional ratio between redundancy and message as the structural-functional mechanism imperative to socially sanctioned fabrication of sense. It does so by refusing to collaborate with a contextual Other as its own double and co-producer of meaning, which increases the power of nonsense by radically reducing the amount of contextual redundancy. An investigative project, Andrews' inversely proportional writing thus takes the first step toward the realm of possibility, articulating values that the terms involved do not yet have.
