Therefore, \u003cem\u003eAlogopoiesis\u003c\/em\u003e forges a poetics of the unstated, creating meanings from what is not there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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, combining prose poetry with flash fiction and lyric verse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSequences of erasure, fragmentation, and revision utilise gaps and omissions as sites of significance. The book as a whole forms a macro-poem in which rhythms of repetition and variation continually reconfigure the parts that form the whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a speaking of silence through form acting as content, thus raising awareness of issues that deserve greater attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47423748341996,"sku":"9780645633788","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/917ulGTaLpL._SL1500.jpg?v=1774429441","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/alogopoiesis-by-amelia-walker-9780645633788","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
