Gossamer Lid Andrew Brenza

Poetry. The poet Paul Celan changed his German when it sought to eradicate him. In parallel, Andrew Brenza constructs tongue-twisting portmanteaus and neologisms because English refuses to register the environmental eradication (the 'horrorscope') to come. GOSSAMER LID asks us to approach the earth from a new angle. Concrete poetry meets the poetics of hard science in this necessary constellation of 'striploss sunbliss.'--Jena Osman
