Emphasis Mine
“Promise Corn Ring” is a free unfettered zone
snaking around a counter-reticulation delineating
a sustained conceit.
Gardens muffles and rotates the images on the motif,
while extemporizing (and altering)
root images in the same text-block.
Gardens wrote this about the piece:
“An ametric ring structure whose trans-structural
affinities are positioned somewhere in between
the works of writers like Robinson Jeffers and Nathalie Sarraute…
the fact of this work moves to arouse our intuitions about the
last five hundred years by directing our gaze at the primary
foundation of the ‘poem’…an oscillating poem structure
that implants what this motivic chain can mean in
the unoccupied implications of the poetry.
Poetry will go on forever.”
