Indeterminacy is the engine of Rod Smith’s book of poems, In Memory of My Theories, whose title, evoking Frank O’Hara’s In Memory of My Feelings, indicates the poetic stakes of a post-New York School world. The book is a sustained, self-reflexive investigation of the role of art in our postmodern era. Refusing easy distillation, the poems suggest that the unravelling of ideology through poetic misdirection may be the new irony and the new ethos.
