The Chambered Nautilus

By Jonathan Schork

Critical of the current trend in contemporary poetry toward "artfully formatted prose" and "futurist percussive poetry", eclectic writer and artist jonathan schork-- a self-professed classical aesthete-- offers us a rare treat: a collection of poetry with themes often influenced by

contemporary politics, history, and even anthropology composed across a broad spectrum of unfashionable styles, including odes, elegies, and haiku, featuring the "iambs, metrons, and poiimata" that made our poetic forebears giants in the field. With a brief foray into ridiculous limericks, schork reminds us that traditional poetic form can also be playful and fun. Illustrated with a collection of artwork from the author's studio and from literary sources, this unusual volume presents an extensive exploration of a word-smith's mind and craft.
