A profound, playful, and kaleidoscopic collection from one of our most evocative contemporary philosopher-poets.

A posthumanist polymath and "trans-public" intellectual, By Akmolfe has produced a vast body of work that represents a startling picture of the world in perpetual process and radical relation. Through an ever-growing archive of books, articles, interviews, films, social media posts, workshops, and rituals, Akmolfe seeks to interrogate the fundamental assumptions and epistemological blind spots of our current culture in crisis.

Selah: A By Akmolfe Reader presents a poetically arranged selection of Akmolfes short-form writings, which draw inspiration from douard Glissant; Gilles Deleuze; Gregory Bateson; Octavia Butler; Fernand Deligny; Chinua Achebe; the adventures of Esu, the Yoruba monster-trickster and crossroads figure; and more.A tightly curated composition of aphorisms, anti-epiphanies, prose poems, and philosophical fragments,Selahinvites readers into the thicket of Akmolfe's thought, weaving together threads of his most critically creative concepts-such as ontofugitivity, ecocognitive assemblage theory, parapolitics, and postactivism. Taking its title from an enigmatic Hebrew word that appears throughout the Book of Psalms-one that suggests a moment of ecstatic exclamation or musical notation-Selahis a book that can be read in an hour or studied for years, kept by your bedside or passed among friends like an open secret.For those already swimming in the depths of Akmolfe's language, as well as those encountering his dynamic body of work for the first time, Selah offers an accessible and ecstatic entry into a visionary thinker's signature thought and poetics.

Selah is the second title from Aora Books, a publishing imprint dedicated to exploring transformational thought and culture that transcends borders, disciplines, and traditions. Rooted in an ethos of polyvocality and planetary consciousness, Aora publishes works that forge bold connections across time, place, ideas, and beings often seen as separate.
