49 Syllables on Love - Couverture souple

9780473559113: 49 Syllables on Love

Synopsis

A meditation forty-nine poems long on love that combines creative flights within the confines of 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 can be wrapped. The collection uses many unusual rhetorical devices in order to accommodate the formal strictures.


This is the second of three volumes, with one other completed. The other title is a meditation on life: 49 Syllables on Life.


The texts are accompanied by Tom Ang's atmospheric high-key images in which light itself is the subject.
