Poet and philosopher John Paetsch holds a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Georgia. His dissertation explores why Gilles Deleuze, Henri Bergson, and G.W. Leibniz all entwine “continuity” with “heterogeneity”—whether considering how a life dissipates time or a body diffuses force. His ongoing research dances between philosophy, maths and art, and he has published several works of anomalous poetry.
