INCH AEONS

by Nuala Archer

Poetry. INCH AEONS is a meditation on the form of meaning, the nature of nature, and the locality of tradition in an over-wired-world. Here, award-winning poet Nuala Archer adopts, breaks and recreates the limits of haiku, evoking moments of collision and convergence, from "Beyond Conception- / Without Regeneration- / Big Bang's Leave let Be" to "Am-Is-Are-Was-Were- / Has-Have-Had-Do-Does-Did-Shall- / Should-Can-Could-Will-Would-." Poet Juliet Patterson calls INCH AEONS "a complex and wondrous book," while poet Pam Ore says the poems are "like starlight, resonat[ing] with the brightness of an original violence, cooling-healing and coalescing into the word." Published as part of the TrenchArt Casements series, INCH AEONS includes inside illustrations by Japanese artist Tamzo and visual art (back cover) by American artist Molly Corey.

I am intrigued by these very TALL editions from feminist Les Figues Press.
