Review of Iris Colomb's Nothing Intensifies at Blackbox Manifold

I've reviewed Iris' marvellous book at Blackbox Manifold - HERE

Here's a snippet - 
Nothing Intensifies questions transmission on a couple of key levels. First, how to score poetry on the page that is primarily intended for performance that goes beyond the voice, to the embodied. A variety of performances on Colomb’s website include her reading poetry in uncommon situations: whilst eating ice cubes, whilst being hoisted, tied in ropes, and durational pieces such as Deadlock where a cable-wheel is rolled back and forth in a ginnel. On a second level the poems in the collection ask how we can transmit ‘nothing’ (well at least at times they do). More of this later.
