How I Love You (i): Enno Poppe and Marcel Beyer

“There is no writing on Enno Poppe. No writing, neither the doing nor the done of it. It has taken me six long months to reconcile that fact, but with every passing failure I am forced to confront the reality that his very good music that I like a lot is just not productively recuperable in language. It, in the very phenomena that are most pleasurable about it, prohibits a writing that would seek to think alongside it. I have never before known a music to do this.”
