Bøger af C. Kubasta

C. Kubasta's &s is a collection of poetry that explores family, relationships and the meanings we make & take from these interactions, created through eavesdropping, misappropriation and found text. The ampersand knits together these imaginings, questioning whether the everyday -- an awning, a briefcase, a gasket --are what they appear, or are only the constructed symbols the poet makes then refutes.

The earnest voice misspeaks, as does the speaker of these poems-often. All things made of language "are interactive objects discolored by the touch of people's hands." Of Covenants considers the ways we name and structure experience, creating contracts through our legal, religious, and linguistic systems until we are caught in a web of shifting signification, a system in which we "submit to consensus" but "did not participate in the building of this consensus."
