Synopsis

A meditation 49 poems long on life that combines creative flights within a haiku-like discipline.


Every poem comprises just 49 syllables, with seven syllables on each of seven lines. This formal rigour provides a skeleton on which a filigree of feelings, thoughts and discursive world-play are wrapped. The collection uses many unusual rhetorical devices in order to accommodate the formal strictures that makes it a challenging read.


This is the first of three volumes, with another completed. The other title is a meditation on love: 49 Syllables on Love.


The texts are accompanied by Tom Ang's beautiful, melancholic still-lifes that reflect the co-creativity of chaos in the photographic process.
