Características

Expertly weaving various textual matter into beautiful, nuanced, and finely balanced form/content patterns, Barbara Maloutass OF WHICH ANYTHING CONSISTS is a serial exercise in radical apposition that finally puts a new spin on an old teleological argument: thus; all things being equal; all things are equal; after all. --Harold AbramowitzIn OF WHICH ANYTHING CONSISTS Barbara Maloutas explores consciousness responding to the four elements of our material world. Here is the record of consciousness feeling and thinking of itself in response to what is most elemental. Employing a broken idiom, haltingly clear, Maloutass language approaches the boundaries of the world with a strange and wonderful grace. We should not be surprised, however, because in Maloutass poetry, language and the liminal world are drawn to each other as strangers who find in the presence of the other a strange and pure joy. --Jon ThompsonBarbara Maloutass remarkable OF WHICH ANYTHING CONSISTS is a marvelous testament to the four sources of the earths traditional elements--water, fire, earth and air--in which the poet miraculously balances associations, both naturally symbolically and linguistically dissociative, to create new relationships between the forces of our lives. Ultimately, Maloutass impassioned associations cry out for our cultures lack of understanding of the relationships between the essential elements of our living world, yet her work poetically embraces our potential relationship with all of the elements which define our lives: pure air enters the lungs...before nailing down windows for winter.... Maloutass work is an astonishingly poetic achievement. --Douglas Messerli
