Description

In A J Carruthers's new poetry collection, collisions between disparate languages, histories and ideas—each with their own distinct voices—are staged through a visually arresting and innovative approach to form. Drawing on media such as musical notation, Carruthers writes in vertical verse stanzas that can be read in any direction, recalling the palindromic poems in the Chinese poetic tradition. They challenge the dominant linear mode of thinking and writing in the West. Z book 3 is the third book in the AXIS series, a lifelong project begun in 2011.

'This book was written in the midst of a grave imbalance among the axes of the world. Voices not my own came from innumerable places and times to speak.' - A J Carruthers

AXIS Z Book 3 bears the empathy of this poet for the world, while also bearing witness to the limits of language in the face of human progress.' - Wang Guanglin
