Description
Lyrical, aphoristic poems that move between forms and consider tropes of narrative.
The narrator of Anon opens the sluice gates of embittered confession and philosophical reproach to release a flood of extravagant lyricism. These poems at first submerge readers in the ecstatic rhythms of its music, then they turn to address the tropes of narrative, inviting readers to join in pursuit of major themes of the human condition.
Steven Seidenberg employs a characteristically aphoristic style to manage multiple lines of inquiry at once. The resultant fragments navigate between testament and treatise, storyline and system, in a manner that echoes the speculative vehemence of Samuel Beckett, Clarice Lispector, and Maurice Blanchot.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
"On these aphoristic seas made of ‘nothing but words’ we sail on vast lexicons of maritime lore. Seidenberg’s recursive, lyrical explorations of time and narrative, knowledge and beauty, float through an archipelago of ‘lapidary prosody,’ part Melville, part Wittgenstein, part Kant, culminating in an ecstatic realisation. Anon submerges readers in a shimmering sea mirage, luxuriating in language while plumbing the mysteries of the abyss." – Susan Gervirtz, author of Hotel abc
