Axis Z Book 3

By A J Carruthers

The poems in A J Carruthers's new collection are iconoclastic: drawing on different media, such as musical notation, and avoiding standard forms, they recall the palindromic poems in the Chinese poetic tradition. The vertical verse stanzas, which can be read in any direction, challenge the dominant linear mode of thinking and writing in the West. This is more than a game of words, however: 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.
