Description

as if there could be no other memory a tree invisible remembering itself In as if, E.D.

Blodgett takes readers on journeys of contemplation in which he re-imagines the lyric form.

Each line leaves the reader breathless as it runs into the next to form a continuous cycle, a continued breath.

The delicate syntax of each piece pushes one forward, ever forward.

The poems are Dantesque, leading the traveller through a deeper, darker world.

As a collection, as if constitutes an ars poetica of Blodgett's Apostrophes series.

The poems explore the elements that make up the series-strict metrical patterns, the possibilities of breath, the endlessness and seamlessness of the spoken word, the incantation.
