Anything with Spirit

Author: isaiah a. hines

Publisher: Roof Books (2025)

"A spectral incantation of zeroes, Anything with Spirit (re)possesses isaiah hines’s polar musings into a sacred, kinetic embroidering of language, spirit, and questions over (re)corded subjection. This work is a feedback loop of linguistic revolt, countering the plantation plots of blackness to re(world) and unearth a new syntax of resistance. Hines summons us into the mixed-unresolved—where desperate notations of being are neither static nor singular coded but verbs perpetually in motion. Through patterns of the unrelated, hines hijacks separations, revealing equations where existence and fallen language coalesce, a queer testament to the entanglement of meaning, spirit, and rebellion (re)belling."
