%X This poem forms a diffraction of Patti Lather¡¯s article listing ten learnings from the ontological turn. This work is intended to be read alongside Lather¡¯s original article, so the reader can appreciate how poetry and prose form and entangle reciprocally. Ostensibly coalescing as notes from a face-to-face, simultaneously video-conferenced meeting to discuss Lather¡¯s list, this poem pulls together fragments from multiple intra-actions and pushes meaning apart, as do the human and other speakers it calls into being. It avoids dramatic claims to making a difference, but suggests an infinitesimal, insect antennae shift via the ways it may brush against the reader¡¯s skin and increase awareness of the more-than-human. This may even activate a tiny wriggle-release from a stuck place. Lather¡¯s list emerges through the narrows of poetic inquiry as changed, alternatively accessible, more intensely affective, yet still resonant with her advice and spiky with further, many-legged, tangential questions
