Trilogy: Kenosis Jake Berry

Poetry. In TRILOGY: KENOSIS Jake Berry empties the Greek psyche of Latin animus to find in the Gothic dark endless images for the soul. Then those images empty of light. Then voids the light, leaving only the poem, the drowned voice shining impossibly through entropy's curse. The word surgeon performs in this operating theater the miracle of nothing. And Jesus, blood dripping from his lips, turns to Arjuna and quotes the last stanzas with, at last, the question to the answer. This blurb is just words. TRILOGY: KENOSIS is something beyond the soul of mineral, the animus of vegetable, the psyche of animal. To read these poems is to drift beyond any and all tongue noise. These poems you feel feel you.--Willie Smith
