Of: Vol. I

By Ossian Foley

Poetry. OF: VOL. I worries about relationship and structure: traditional to experimental styles; discord to order; things in the head to things in the world; novelty to miscarriage; affirmation to scrutiny; for starters. The volume worries the way metaphors and language from one magesteria may sound much like those from another and nitpicks the perhaps common origins or the perhaps common phenotypes, and the often common locus within a given individual. OF: VOL. I imperfectly imitates and externalizes the neurological mechanism of psychological and cultural transmission whereby in part we form images of ourselves and know the internal states of others. The volume is a niche in which individual minds thrive and it is an individual which exploits the niche of other minds. OF: VOL. I is a series of poems, a series of serial poems, a single poem, or one part of another poem, 8 years in the making. The volume is an oar carried inland.
