Triangulations, by Andrew Brenza

Poetry, chapbook, 36 pages, from Bottlecap Features. Perfect for the desultory wanderer of the post-apocalypse, Andrew Brenza’s Triangulations is a chapbook-length series of 21st century visual and concrete poems offering a roadmap through the cloud-chamber of personal divination. Via the feverish, surreal and prophetic confluence of image and text, Brenza creates fragmented and electric fields of linguistic potentiality in which the trekker is beaconed to uncover the salvation of rapturous being. Not just a salve for our times, Triangulations is a challenge to evolve. With language torqued into glyph like figures, Brenza pushes meaning beyond its local occurrences to resonate in the ether of universal signification. Asking us to reimagine what the word can do, Brenza deftly brings us to ourselves. Andrew Brenza’s recent books include the visual poetry series The Book of Andrews (Red Fox Press), the poetry chapbook The Heathery Heart (BlazeVOX) and the experimental science fiction play Night Walking & The Makers’ Taint (Sulfur Editions). He is also the founder and editor of Sigilist Press, a micropress devoted to the publication of visual poetry.
