unwordly (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798988302285)

Exquisitely linguistic, unwordly both flows like a Gregorian chant and snaps like a snare, teasing the mouthfeel with a variety as vast as the emotional significance of rediscovering voice and the impact of our sound on the world. - Jaime Dill editor-in-chief of Full Mood Magazine, and book editor at Polish and Pitch, LLC. Inunwordly, Robert Guzikowski manages to do the impossible: to convert a language disorder into a ghostly music of the soul. This remarkable book conjures up reminders of such beat poets as Paul Blackburn, Charles Olson and Robert Duncan, with an echo of Gertrude Stein as well, while at the same time remaining utterly original. There are wonderful interludes of word play.unwordlyis a verbal kaleidoscope, a word press of (as one poem says) "subatomic hungers colliding." Its integrity is evident in every line, every poem. Two poems mention Thelonious Monk. Guzikowski's book couldn't have a better guardian spirit. This is Monk himself in poetry. - John Vernon, author of Peter Doyle, The Last Canyon and Lucky Billy The poems in unwordly are magical in the way magic makes sense. All the exceptionally artful parts are designed (divined) to come together in a form of integration that is rooted in an amalgam of beauty. Sounds, sights, imagery, the music of language - the articulation of parts in unwordly is breathtaking and deeply satisfying. - Henry Stanton, Publisher/Editor UnCollected Press,
