| Publisher Description: Collections of Madness: Amateur Experiments in Genius begins with e-mail conversations between three poets, Jane, Asil, and Nod, as they contemplate the answers to life's most difficult questions. Together, they decide to write a book and let their findings be known. The friends experience the universe together, but also individually on separate, bumpy paths. Jane, Asil and Nod share their insights, disillusionments, and life-changing epiphanies. In "Questions from the Lonely Girl," Jane Smith explores how she is learning to breathe her own eclectic beauty into the world. In Asil Nottarts's section, "socio-political, purely poetic, mindless ranting, and the creative process," her whimsical poetry asks such introspective questions as "Who am I, really?" and "Is there ultimately any difference?" In "neo/fight blues," poet Nod Nihill2 offers a wide range of verse including creative solutions for a world in crisis, the contents of a fortune cookie, and patterns of rejection. In Collections of Madness, the prolific words of Smith, Nottarts, and Nihill2 will entertain, enrage, excite, and transport you from the profound to the profane--and from the mundane to the extraordinary. |
