Beskrivning
Poems that consider the complexities of human life and the ways that we perceive reality.  In Omitting All That is Usually Said, Robin Caton explores the nature of light, form, language, meaning, and thought, alongside the complexity of their interwoven relationships. Caton interrogates the workings of the human mind and explores the way we integrate disparate perceptions. Caton questions whether we can be certain that things really exist and that all we experience isn’t simply a play of light and shadow. She considers how we live with all the limitations and emotional turmoil imbedded in humanity, while also maintaining a sense of something we call perfection. The poems of Omitting All That is Usually Said investigate how we might capture the depths of conflicting experiences and lived knowledge in ways that we can comprehend, and they marvel at how we find delight in all of it.

Recensioner i media

“In Omitting All That is Usually Said, Caton, recreates the anatomy of perception, with its ‘folly of love’ as language, narrating passages of consciousness where ‘light is a gaze’ that opens out into a world of metaphoric rhythms. Through a series of dynamic interactions, torn detours and sequences, and ‘lateral fictions’ between an omniscient observer, a protagonist on a train, and windows that carry the ‘intimate air’ of landscapes, Caton demonstrates a painter’s ability to create a ‘lucid invention’ you’ll want to read again and again. Imagine a story, en media res, full of subtext and vision play––archives of indefinite time made for our ‘starved minds’ like ‘insects . . . in stuttering debate.’ This magical collection invites Mallarmé’s declaration that ‘Every soul is a melody to be renewed.’”
