“Beyond recuperation” is sloppy, imprecise, awkward. The kind of phrase you suspect the author himself would have strained out had a thorough edit been bothered with. I appreciate your persistence. I too want lyricism and the fullness of what language can offer—and persist in fear of being s philistine. But if the author going for style can’t be bothered with purposeful style, I can’t be bothered with reading much further.
