Synopsis

The Author shows, thru the sectional and serial and a-periodic poetry of Three Sea Monsters—as well as his conjuration of history in the succeeding notes—that modernist themes provide the source-ground for our present disengaged appearance. It is into this fissure all acts, real or imagined, have fallen. “One aspect of the monster concept,” observes Stephen T. Asma in his book On Monsters: An Unnatural History Of Our Worst Fears, “seems to be the breakdown of intelligibility. An action or a thing is monstrous when it can’t be processed by our rationality, and also when we cannot readily relate to the emotional range involved.” John Olson at Tillalala Blogspot
