Blurb:
This Draft Research Portfolio is the first in a pair of twin novellas. A bored provincial academic has been ordered to provide a report on his research. The story he is telling doesn’t sound much like the translation of a sixteenth-century French novel he promised them, though. In fact, as his Head of Department writes indignantly in the margins of his work, it sounds more like madness.

Jack Ross’s publications include five poetry books, three novels, two novellas, and two collections of short fiction. He is the managing editor of Poetry New Zealand, and works as a Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing at Massey University’s Albany campus.

Tree Worship (2011-12)


Annahme des Kunstwerkes als etwas in Richtung
auf den Zuschauer feindlich Bewegtes

– Aby Warburg (27 August, 1890)

[Theory of the work of art as something hostile
moving towards the beholder] [1]
