Indirect Objects

Más información sobre el libro

INDIRECT OBJECTS is Prague-based Australian author Louis Armand's eighth collection, an exploration of physical, psychological and linguistic topographies forming a poetic grammar. The indirect objects of the title are emergent states of experience, perception as language, the unarticulated "real" we encounter as strange and remote in even the most familiar forms of saying. The volume is divided into five sections - "Realism," "Dark Mingus," "Broadcast Graffiti," "Zapata Retrospect," and "Tur zum Nichts" - each concerned with an exploration of landscapes of fact. Armand's poetry is populated by places, people, things whose existence describes a potential contained in language as singular and vital as they are.
