His publications include the volume of poetry Madonna anno domini and a critical study for the British Film Institute on The Matrix and political economy, as well as extensive writings on popular music for the Village Voice, Spin, and other venues. Much of his critical and poetic work concerns the intersection found in the title of his essay "The Poetics of Urbanism," and in the relations of modernist formalism and revolution. Particular interests include the accounts of urban modernity in Walter Benjamin and the Frankfurt School, as well as the unitary urbanism of Guy Debord and the Situationist International. Clover's most recent chapbook is Their Ambiguity (Quemadura Press, 2003).
