With each list I’ve assembled, I’ve asked myself variations of similar questions. Why the dearth of journals beginning with R followed by so many S’s? Why am I always missing something—an email sent to my spam folder, calls formatted with bits of code I didn’t notice or that read as if due last year—no matter how thorough I think I am? Why am I still doing this? I’ve told myself I’d quit more times than I’d like to admit, and I admit that, in many ways, I was probably not the best person to take this task on. I am not a list-maker in my daily life. Lists terrify me. So do planners and calendars. I look at my inbox and all the small emails box me in. At best, my executive function is malfunctioning. Sometimes, I’m good at hiding it.
When I saw that Dennis asked if anyone wanted to help organize the list, I thought about all of this. I had just finished as Editor in Chief of New Delta Review, a role I absolutely loved and absolutely struggled with logistically. In The Passion According to G.H., Clarice Lispector writes, “maybe disillusionment is the fear of no longer belonging to a system.” I felt disillusioned by the prospect of no longer belonging to anything in the literary community, of somehow no longer belonging to the literary community at all. But I also felt disillusioned by my perceived incapacity to work systematically or, systematically, work at all. I thought about all of this when I emailed Dennis, when we worked on our first list together, when I worked on my first list alone and for every list since.
Thermodynamically, there is no entropy without system. And there is no Entropy without community. I’m trying to get at something about system and community, their interrelation, what it means to belong, to either or to both, the disillusionment and fear and passion in these belongings.
The seemingly impossible “number of ways in which a thermodynamic system may be arranged,” according to the second epigraph on the site’s “About” page, is “often taken to be a measure of disorder.” Disorder, then, does not name the impossibility of the system’s arrangement; if anything, it’s all the possible orders it can take. If disorder is a condition of possibility—to keep the list going, to keep myself going—I should, at the very least, try finding the grace to better accept it.
Like a thermodynamic system, a community is a matter of relation. This also means it’s a matter of energy. Belonging to a community, in whatever capacity, means relating to it, and that takes energy. As a community space, Entropy has been energy intensive in many ways, some of which I’m likely oblivious to. For all the energy the editors of Entropy—especially Dennis and, above all, Janice— have put in, and that the writers, editors, and readers who have found community in this list have provided, I am incredibly grateful. I thank you all for making this possible, to have met who I’ve met and learn what I’ve learned, to have been part of this with each of you at this moment of rest, of equilibrium, the state of maximum entropy.
