Unhomely Montage-Machines (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789357440752)

""Over 21 days, I endeavoured to write 21 poems. Ostensibly giving myself some guiding principle, some method, and structure, each day I drew and reflected upon a Tarot card from the traditional Marseilles deck. Focussing on the images on the cards, I wrote out of the images, symbols and titles, often finding myself in unforeseen territories. Formatively, the idea was to give a structural and thematic aid from which to work, yet as the writing continued, I realised that the language that was being generated between myself and the images became less and less anchored in the chosen card; instead the concepts and words became ripped and exposed, a cacophony of syllables that, in truth, belies both the excitement and fear I feel in the face of an infinitely fascinating and infuriating universe. I am fascinated with the structures and the categories we use every day. I am fascinated by how we develop these structures and categories to help diffuse our understandable terror. Rather than seeing and accepting the vast space interrupted by the distant-dim light of a billion blinding stars; you saw a man hunting, and called him a god. I tried to write how I am; confused and enthralled and bursting with feeling everything all at once, all the time. Perhaps this is schizopoetics.""
