Description for Squander
Paperback. Num Pages: 96 pages. BIC Classification: DCF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 229 x 152 x 5. Weight in Grams: 91.
Squander occupies a place where “the mind’s upstairs windows [are] blown out”: a place of juxtapositional delight through sensory and conceptual dislocation. Poems based in word origins work as fables, and poems based in dialogue work within a select concordance from authors and artists. The consequent subject’s meaning is diverted and new vantage points are created. Squander’s energized music, its alliance with feeling’s final rhythm “makes us complicit” in the re-awaking of language.
