1. While much of your work tends to use "borrowed" language, a sort of collage technique, there seem to be several dichotomies that develop out of this practice, most prominently, it seems to me, those of science vs. superstition, or the impersonal/modern beliefs of rational science vs. the communal/personal (and in some sense "medieval") beliefs by which people actually live their lives. I mention the "medieval" because of your chapbooks sequence "Rx" and "Cool Clean Chemistry," which play freely among the medicinal formulas of olden times. What is your perspective on this issue; are you taking issue with science, suggesting its provisional nature? Do you sense a particular failure in the way language is used in science?
