Other Ideas is a poetry collection arranged into three sections determined by subject matter. The first section focuses on navigation, the cold, boredom, gravity, and motion within the discourse of natural science and the philosophy of nature. The second and third sections further this concern with the sources of information, history, and experimentation as the sources of identity, survival, sanity, and memory; section two analyzes the art object ranging from Henry Moore sculptures to ale bowls, spoons, pebbles, the floor, and knucklebones; section three focuses on the book object with its varied interpretations by Freudians, Deconstructionists, and Feminists as well as readers and writers who view the book as a vessel.
