Description
Explore the profound themes of silence and unspoken experiences with 'Alogopoiesis,' a compelling poetry collection published by Gazebo Books in 2023. This BRAND NEW book, identified by ISBN 9780645633788, delves into the complexities of reduced speech through a unique lens of creativity—where alogia meets poiesis. In this poignant anthology, readers will encounter evocative poetry that braids together personal narratives of domestic violence, queer heartbreak, and mental illness. Each poem serves as a powerful reflection of voices often muted or overshadowed. Expect a rich tapestry woven from surreal symbolism, prose poetry, and flashes of lyrical verse, creating an immersive journey that challenges societal norms and explores the beauty of fragility.
The structure of 'Alogopoiesis' is not just for aesthetic appeal; it embodies the very essence of its theme. Sequences of erasure, fragmentation, and revision invite readers to engage with the gaps and omissions, transforming silence into a dynamic space of meaning. This collection is more than just poetry; it is a transformation of absence into richness, creating a macro-poem where repetition and variation breed a deeper understanding of silence as a voice.

Description:
Alogia is a condition of reduced or absent speech. Poiesis is making. Alogopoiesis therefore forges a poetics of the unstated, a making of meanings from what’s not there. Poems in this book explore experiences of domestic violence, queer heartbreak, and mental illness, among other topics that are often hushed up or hard to voice. Surreal symbolism interweaves with bare personal accounts, prose poetry with flash fiction and lyric verse. Sequences of erasure, fragmentation and revision mobilise gaps and omissions as sites of significance. The book in entirety forms a macro-poem in which rhythms of repetition and variation continually reconfigure the parts that form the whole. The result is a speaking of silence through form acting as content, and thereby, a raising of issues for which greater attention is deserved.
