Notes
Description
"In GEOGRAPHIC TONGUE, an important addition to the Pleiades Press Visual Poetry Series, Rodney Gomez weaves together themes of loss, identity, ethnicity, heritage, and the mechanics of contemporary life to create a collection as lyrically arresting as it is asthetically stunning. These visual poems, crafted with both restraint and vitality, are visceral in their depiction of creulty at the US-Mexico border. And yet, this charged landscape also gives rise to moments of tenderness, stillness, and wry humor. Gomez's visual designs at once vivid and haunting, drawing together collage, diagrams and abstract imagery into a bright, geometrically precise collection. His text casts such a powerful spell that in its absence, silence is heard as clearly as any phrase. Gomez writes, 'you don't have to speak to speak truth,' and this lucid assertion is borne out in the collection as a whole: in its art, and in its silence, the poems of GEOGRAPHIC TONGUE are undeniably and indeliably authentic." -- cover page 4.
