Antibodies

<p>The title of the collection - a term borrowed from anatomy and transposed onto the area of human relations (one's relationship with oneself as well as with others) - should be read in the ambivalence which it spontaneously suggests: on the one hand it is an opposition between bodies a you as an anti-I both on the emotive and physical levels; and on the other hand now taken in its proper sense it is antibodies which ensure healing. The tension of this ambivalence forms the axis of the collection. However a careful reader may notice a gradual change in tonality as the language becomes more elastic towards the second part of the book the antithetical connotation giving way to the remedying one.</p>
