The Passage is Still

By Michael O. Starr

This small tome contains, in the tongue of the Postmodern movement, renditions of topics ranging from:

and much more.

Emerging poet Michael O. Starr--previously published in BlazeVOX, Aberration Labyrinth, Anapest, Junto, and The Paragon Journal, among others--moves the reader to intellectual and emotional inquiry about the meaning of things around us, as well as the phrases and words we use to describe them themselves. Letters are artfully arranged on the page in precise structured patterns to give a thrilling yet curious presentation for the cognitive mind.
