| Summary: | "A three-part series of poems interrogating the nature of experience, language, and identity. The title poem, PERFACT, is an approach to materiality and consciousness in which each are made to intersect, partaking in a coded interchange. This is followed by a dramatic stage-play (mono-no-aware), an untranslatable Japanese term which might be expressed as an empathy or awareness of things), a 'dark night of the soul' whose dramatic interchange leads a feminine 'I' inwards and back again, countering the coherence of singular identity with the threat of sublimation. This mystical junction makes way for MINE, a lineated poem presenting a disassociated clarity marked by absence--survival's persistent interlude."-- |
