Zygote Abstract – Libertine is a collection of exquisite breaths and movements in printed form. It cascades and crashes and ebbs along the mind and never lets up. It promises to be the gold standard in any library, public or private. Rod C. Stryker Exploits of a Sun Poet (Pecan Grove Press) Chairman Sun Poets Society |
This volume of poetry engages the reader, presenting both challenges and comfort, published by an independent press with a passion for experimental writing. The authors take on topics as varied as family relationships and the War in Iraq. The volume offers a great introduction to modern poetry for aspiring writers as well as something to challenge seasoned readers. Donna Bonner, Ph.D. Writer / Cultural Anthropologist |
Zygote: a cell produced by the union of two gametes; sounds awfully biological, awfully sterile. But pick it up off the plate and test it with your tongue. Now swish it around in your mouth, allow it to permeate your palatal lexicon. Breathe it out in a crisp aspiration; understand it’ s nuisances with ancient perspective. For Zygote is from the Greek zygon meaning to join together. Suddenly we understand color and meaning. Suddenly we understand each other, through words, their clarity and abstraction, through words… Zygote Abstract brings us together, the reader and the writer. In that ancient way that readers and writers met. In dark rooms with a 60 watt soft glow bulb, words of poets gifted by the daughters of Apollo to stroke us in just that way. The force and flow of the words between the pages Zygote Abstract carry you on their waves, making you flip hungrily through from one poem to the next. Inside we meet sages like Aine MacAodha, Gail Gray, and Rod Stryker who instruct with clear word choice and infinite meaning. Bold prose poets like Mario Zambrano and Sarah Rose, who exemplify the style. And the steamy Lust Poetry of Paula Obe Thomas, are just samplings of this amazing collection of voices. Zygote Abstract incites, intrigues, and succeeds in being a new fresh new voice in the literary world. Brian Ladd Fissure Magazine |
