A Book of Witness: Spells & Gris-Gris

Více o knize

The collection features one hundred poems that bridge the turn of the millennium, showcasing Jerome Rothenberg's exploration of the poetic "I" as a witness and conduit for collective experience. Divided into two halves, the first written in 1999 and the latter in the following two years, the work emphasizes an incantatory style that serves as a powerful affirmation of self amidst historical challenges. It acts as a prophetic shout for life, confronting the indifference of the universe and reaffirming the significance of individual and shared narratives.
