Her friendship with John Cage led to Musicage (Wesleyan), a volume of their conversations about Cage’s compositional poetics. Retallack’s The Poethical Wager (California) is a sequence of experimental essays. Litmus Press published The Supposium: Thought Experiments and Poethical Play in Difficult Times, edited by Retallack as documentation and continuation of a MoMA event in collaboration with Adam Pendleton. The book was launched at The Kitchen in a multimedia event: “THE SUPPOSIUM, A Poethical Wager,” 2018. BOSCH’D: Fables, Moral Tales & Other Awkward Constructions is forthcoming from Litmus this spring.
