Gorgeous! For me, this is also what collage is. A poetry of fragments. A collection of all that which is most alive and half-formed. A teeming collection of thoughts unfinished, sentences unended. A call for a reply. It is a mathematics of a higher space, that the parts are always greater than the sum.
Agreed, and nicely put! I really got into fragmentation through haiku and tanka, and Japanese poetics in general, which have customarily been based in 'toriawase' (combination, assemblage, etc.). Really resonated with my own approach to poetics.
Lovely. She seems so brilliant! Unborn poetry, what a conception. The essay was very illuminating for me. Thanks for this!
I know right, it was a real gem to come across - "unborn poetry" is such a powerful idea! So glad you enjoyed it. 🌸
